I'm not sure how these things happen. You've got a couple of capable actors here, so what do you with them? You give them a weak script, weaker dialog, a few chase scenes and shoot-em-up scenes, and call it a day? Doesn't seem fair. Could a decent director have salvaged this? I doubt it, but we'll never know. Clearly not much effort was made. It's just with a voice as distinctive as Neeson's, you've got to give him good lines. He can barely squeak out a sentence. So why have him give this long driveling self history to the reporter? And why was he even doing that? It doesn't fit at all with the previous character development. Add to the the vehicle going up the ramp and tipping over, the other vehicle bursting into flame on impact, and the fact that six machine guns never seem to be a match for one man with a pistol, and you get the sense of this movie. Really, really, bad. Not average. Bad. Skip it.
