Curiosités

Anecdotes:
Doing this film propelled Famke Janssen to take action in the real fight against corruption. She now serves as the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Office against Drugs and Crime. suite
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Dialogue errors: Bryan says, "What I do have are a very particular set of skills..." He really means, "What I do have is a very particular set of skills..." Also, when talking to Kim on the phone, we hear her say, "...are in Spain" to which Bryan replies "To Spain." The more natural response would have been to repeat and respond, "In Spain," being surprised by that new information. suite

Singh: Very fine. I suppose you want to see it again?
Bryan: You should know why I'm here.

Bryan: Oh yeah.

Probably the fastest 93 minutes of my life !, 26 April 2008
9/10
Author: talanish de Travelling the world

Wow - I had already read reviews of this movie, and with the writer being one of my favourite directors, Luc Besson, I just had to go see this movie as soon as possible...

I was not disappointed... I'm not sure if this was intentional but there were no trailers before the movie, so being thrown strait into the film unexpectedly with people whispering "is this it then ?" only helping build up some initial tension and excitement.

The film starts nicely, but with overtones of spy thrillers like "Day of the Jackal" coming to mind. Neeson seems a bit pityful at the start, but soon overturns that impression with a taste of his handywork after around ten minutes of the thriller.

Then, before you know it, it's over. 93 minutes, gone in a blur of fighting, fear, chasing and excitement at serious pace. The artwork and direction is nicely done, giving you the feeling of being the one attacking and the chair squirming feeling of being the poor gits who get annihilated in almost every way possible.

It was one of those films that I wanted to applause after the film, I actually clapped about three times, but no-one joined in... too afraid of being the only two people clapping I suppose...

Neeson was great, and I can't wait to see the movie many more times. I only gave it 9 out of 10, as it was too short ! The film could have been easily stretched to 2 hours in my opinion, with some more development and intimacy with the characters. But I guess this may have not made it so exciting... still, well worth the money to see this in the big screen.
