Ratings and reviews

It was a Liam Neeson movie and all Liam Neeson movies are worth watching.There were a few twists in the plot which kept thing interesting. The boy was a good actor for a fist timer. The border collie cross Jackson was terrific and true ti=o life. Direction wss a bit flat as were tte locations.. However I do expect those border towns on both sides are quite dreary places. Better than many movies in 2021.

Standard action fare of crusty old man of special skills doing the right thing... but without undermining the movie through negative excessive jump cuts many of Liams other movies had. He played "his age" and made the movie work. Yes... most things you will be able to predict before they happen. But still quite enjoyable.

I didn't want to finish it. Boring and predictable. A incredibly unessacary ending.. when he gave the kid the medal (meant to be a significant moment) and the kid doesn't react, the main character doesn't react. Very cliche movie trying to play off emotional moments. Don't bother watching this.
