…was the awesomest movie I have seen in a year or more. It was amazing! Liam Neeson is a beast when it comes to kicking ass and taking names. He is a brutally manipulative spy who was specifically trained to get the job done. He is the best at what he does, he cannot be stopped!

When Brian’s (Liam Neeson) daughter is abducted by Albanian pimps on a summer trip to Europe with her cousin he swings into action, taking shit from nobody and getting the information he needs through brute force and a kickass set of ninja skills. He delivers dozens of crotch-kicks and karate chops to the throat. My eyes were as big as grapefruits throughout the entirety of the movie. My sister and I could only think about how great it would be to be a spy and to be able to beat people up like he does.

Possibly my favorite part of the movie is when he finds the scout who informs the kidnappers about “new merchandise”. The man, Peter, is getting into a taxi with a prospective victim when Brian jumps in before her and demands the driver to speed away. Instead, he wimps out and runs for the cops, but not quick enough. Brian begins punching Peter in the kidneys and demanding to know where his daughter is. Peter’s accomplice steps in and pulls Brian out of the cab where he tries, and fails of course, to save his friend. Brian delivers a precise karate chop to the neck, taking the man down and rendering him helpless to defend his friend.

Overrall this movie gets a 5+ on the 5 Star Scale. Everyone should watch this movie before it leaves the theatre next week. Brian is definately way better than James Bond, maybe not hotter but definately awesomer.

Song of the day: Mad by Ne-Yo. It’s been stuck in my head, but that’s the extent of why it made the list today. I hate this song.
