The formula has been Taken ... I know: I am Fun (at least that's what I think - kind of like what Travoltas character thinks). The question is, did you like the movie Taken? Also would it make sense watching that again over this? The possibility is very high that both those questions can be answered with a resounding yes.But sometimes you just want to watch something "new". And the movie does do a decent job overall. Even if you just know where this is going and even if Travolta gets a bit too heroic (especially towards the end, with a very weird and wrong slow motion shot-literally!). If you don't mind these things, you'll have fun

They should make a sequel. They're a funny killing duo. It kept me watching but did they want us to take them seriously? I laughed at some of their banter with each other. Almost like Stan & Laurel, even Abbot & Costello, only lots of guns, fights and blood.

OK, I'm exaggerating somewhat giving this a 10 but i have to balance the skulduggery bad voting badmouthing this Movie because it attacks people in Power. Unfortunately it's a fairy-tale. The good guys almost never are well-trained and coming out from combat-forces. Those are usually the bad guys. But even if it is a fairy-tale it still leaves a warm feeling and a thought, like in Taken, that the bad guys sometimes hit the wrong guys and get their come-up-pens. Why I give this Movie extra Points is that the revenge does not shy away from the highest positions (the last guy in the line might just as well have been the president or maybe even higher up - the people behind the president). That's a nice touch, somehow.
