This is not a family feel good movie. Shocking, considering this features Liam Neeson.
Liam is playing an assassin, but he doesn't want to do his job. And so becomes a target. Which sounds fairly generic, and that is, but there is another aspect in that that is just one of the plots, the other is a group of three FBI peoples who end up after the same people that want Liam dead. And this all involves child sex-trafficking, so yeah, not actually fun.
Decent enough. There's the gimmick that Liam is having the Alzheimer's, but this just leads to a small side point that doesn't really matter. (This really comes about because this movie is based on De zaak Alzheimer, or The Memory of a Killer.)
Guy Pierce is the other main lead here and.. he is quite good. I can't recall all his other roles, but right now I'm thinking I like most of his roles... We also got not much more than a cameo from Monica Belluci, but also decent performances from Taj Atwal and Harold Torres.
Not going to blow you away with how wonderful this is, but a solid enough film.
