New Liam Neeson flick. The trailer looks pretty stupid but I went ahead and saw it anyway, thinking "Hey, Liam Neeson goes around ****ing people up. Can't be bad, right?"

It. Was. Awesome.

I highly recommend everyone goes to see it right now. Immediately. Not many movies can pull off "Loving Father" and "Merciless Psychopath" so well.

This. Neeson is completely off the rails balls dangerous. Makes Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer look like pussies. Well worth watching, even if the rest of the cast are fairly forgettable. Great B movie fodder. :LOL:
 
I enjoyed watching Liam Neeson ****ing slave traffickers up immensely, 7.5/10
 
Wait, so does he hurt them, or actually **** them?
 
I saw the trailer and it looks actually pretty good. I'll end up acquiring it in a different way, though. It looks good, but not $8.50 good.

Mr. Samon went on a massive editing spree both with the thread title and content in both the original post and my reply. Because he's a flaming ******.

(If you look at the bottom of my post, it clearly even says "edited by Samon")

The post you read originally chastised him for editing the thread title to something about my body odor.

He mercilessly slaughters and completely overkills DOZENS of people with no hesitation or remorse. It's excellent.

Star Wars begs to differ.
 
I thought the movie was rather droll. Besides all the nit picky things I could point out about the writing, dialogue, and acting, I'm just not into movies that aren't tragedies.

Alternate ending: Liam Neeson's daughter totally hates him all the way through the movie, completely and irrevocably hates him. Rest of the movie happens. Liam Neeson gets blown to fvckdom when he walks through the doors on the boat. With his last breath, he shoots the dude holding his daughter; his daughter runs to him, crying, wiping the blood off his face, then a few bouncers run in and knock Liam unconscious, cuts to black, then the last sound you hear is his daughter screaming.

That would have been a lot better. Instead it's just an ushy gooshy feely good movie which only lesson is not to go to Paris because you will be raped and sold to slavery.
 
Eh, see it does look like a good movie, and you liked it a lot. but my likes and your likes are slightly different *I like long and think, you like short and thick...*
 
Looked pretty entertaining. Maybe I'll see it in theaters.
 
Man on Fire is a good example of tragedy. It was bittersweet,

trading Creasy's life for the little girl. It was fantastically done.

I know what you mean.

The RX-7 is longer than the Mustang, but they're equally as thick.
 
I thought it was kind of a fairytale. I mean two girls get taken at the same time by the same people, yet one of them moves onto a rich auction house, picked up by millionaires, nobody had sex with her along the way, and in the end she wasn't (noticeably) addicted to any drugs.

Meanwhile her friend, gets handcuffed to a bed in a shit-hole house, drugged until she doesn't know what planet she's on, ****ed by dozens of men, vomits all over herself and dies.

Hmm....

They explained that pretty early on

the reason Liam's Daughter was worth so much was because she was a virgin

Anyway, **** the haters you go watch this movie to see Liam throat punch half of france.

The daughter was worth a lot more money because she was a virgin. It was more financially sound to keep her that way - and clean from drugs. I mean, shit, what did she go for at the end, like, $500,000? Other girl wasn't worth that much.
 
saw this a few weeks back. Its been on my external HDD for over 2 months i think and it was EPIC! take Ransom and put it on Crack
 
I watched this 2 weeks ago and thought it was pretty badass.

I'm surprised the protagonist managed to leave the country after all the shit he's done, but whatever. :p

Glad to be rid of him, I bet.

yeah that was a weird ending. we should make an ultra violent ending where he has to kill 40 guys in 20 seconds.....at least i would do that if i were the director
 
did anyone else lol when he shot the wife???
 
This is one of my favorite action movies, i see it as Jason Bourne when he is a lot older.

Absolutely loved it.
 
It was really good. I'm usually not into the thriller type these days, but this one exceeded my expectations.
 
It was Man on Fire with a happy ending.

Also I wonder if Liam Neeson got revenge on the tree that killed his wife.
 
yeah... lots of goons died, Neeson's ex has the hots for him again, daughter got her music lessons. It's win-win-win.
 
It couldnt have been more of a Man On Fire and Bourne Identity ripoff if it tried.

BUT I agree it was pretty awesome. The fight scenes were always cool, full of those 'ooooohhh thats gotta hurt' moments, and the way he hides from the guys in the kitchen is just inspiring.

Its also a usually untouched subject, which makes it interesting as well as entertaining, maybe even educational.

Certainly makes you think about travelling by yourself.
