Ratings and reviews

An entierly predictable plot, done many times before. Sean Penn is good however and the action keeps the story moving at an acceptable pace. If you like action movies then I think its worth the rental of £2.50.

This movie is not terrible?! it was brilliant! very impressive action scenes from Sean Penn! & a decent storyline! everyone's slating it because all the "taken fans" are expecting it to be like that, just because the director of this movie directed the first taken movie. well get the hell over it! in fact, Sean Penn is the writer & producer of this movie & its definitely an easy watch ! more of a drama/action/ thriller. it's nothing like taken (which is a good thing) so stop comparing it and just enjoy it!

Weak action scenes, terrible dialogue, characters didn't make a lot of sense and full of plot wholes!
