from Living for the Cinema · host Geoff Gershon
Fifteen years ago, we saw the release of one of THE most surprising word-of-mouth hits of the 21st Century and that was this straightforward action thriller directed by Pierre Morel. It starred Oscar Nominee Liam Neeson as Brian Mills, an ex-spy/assassin with a "particular set of skills" who has just found out that his teenage daughter (Maggie Grace) was "taken" while on vacation with her friend in Paris. So he then single-handedly embarks on a dangerous mission to not only find her but to bring her kidnappers to justice. :o And what results is a memorable series of sequences featuring our hero taking out the (Euro) Trash. ;) Will Brian find his daughter before it's too late??
