Title: Did it have to be this dumb?
Review: Liam Neeson is a good actor and the fact that he seems to be taking the role seriously makes this film better than it ought to be, but it's still basically garbage. Well-filmed, tightly-edited garbage. All the dialogue, every character who is introduced -- nothing is handled with even the slightest, faintest hint of subtlety or nuance, as though the screenplay was written by a 12 year old who's never been outdoors.
