I went into it with low expectations and I think that helped for me. It was a great action packed movie that didnt let up! I love the storyline. I know it wasnt original in thought, but original in the European aspect. Great insight (well more like a glimpse) into the sex slavery that is going on. I was like Ryan greatly surprised with that much sexual content, there was no nudity. It was nice to see a movie that can get the point across without exploiting young women. Ryan's review was great. Read it before and after watching the movie. This movie certainly isnt going to be award-winning, but it was highly entertaining and well worth the price of admission.

I agree about the standing in line part. That was (movie-wise) a great build-up/reveal, but (reality wise) so grueling that I thought, "this stuff has to be made up" - but I'm sure it's not. @Roger, Thanks.

I guess I'd pretty much agree with you on this one. It was hard to sit there when I realized what line Liam Neeson was standing in during the early stages of his quest to find his daughter. It was just sickening to see on the screen a depiction (thankfully, it was never particularly graphic or explicit) of the reality of the sex-trade that goes on daily around our planet. As to the movie, I thought it was a Ransom (Mel Gibson) meets Jason Bourne meets a touch of Air Force One thumbs up to a nice performance by Liam Neeson. Good review, Ryan.
