    average flick with classic neeson backhanders and slaps
    There is nothing wrong with this movie but it makes a pretty average impact on you.

    I did however love the way Australian actor Guy Pearce masters the Texas accent and plays an FBI agent, and i love it when Liam Neeson slaps people (crooks) around. At 70 years of age, Neeson comes across as an artist of hand combat. Slap, bang, smash. Love it.

    The story is about a hitman and a couple of cops who both feel a wrong needs to be corrected because a 13 year old Mexican girl is assassinated. The hitman refused to kill her originally, and guy pearce was trying to take care of her girl after he accidentally killed her crooked father, who was selling her to strangers for sex.

    Worth viewing: Yes Something to get excited about: Not really.

    Another watchable Liam Neeson staple.
    We've seen this before, a killer at the end of his career who suddenly develops a conscience and refuses to carry out a job that goes against his newly acquired moral conviction, and we've seen the cat-and-mouse game with the police in more movies than we can count. But perhaps we haven't previously witnessed such a killer who also struggles with mild dementia?

    It's a bold choice for a main character, but it works because it's Liam Neeson. As so many times before, he elevates the material he has to work with. The storyline in the film is engaging enough, addressing a perpetually relevant issue - the trafficking of young girls. The film doesn't primarily aim to disgust us with explicit details of the sex trade, and it doesn't want us to dwell too much on the poverty that impulsively drives people to destructive decisions. Instead, the film seeks to shed light on another facet of the problem - the clients with money.

    However, the villains are characters we don't learn much about, other than that they are wealthy and well-off, and they are removed from the plot in a somewhat superficial manner. The casting in the film works very well though and compensates for the somewhat shallow and lightweight treatment of the film's serious subject. Especially noteworthy is Guy Pearce as an FBI agent with a heart in the right place - without him, this film would have been lesser. The film has enough merits to be recommended even to those who are not solely fans of Liam Neeson.
