This movie was a treat for me because it was surprisingly good. It's like when you buy a six piece nugget meal and you end up with a seventh. Or when the sixth nugget is one of those Siamese nuggets for double the meat. I had this movie on my computer for a couple of months now but had no inclination to watch it until a friend told me how good it was. But this friend of mine is a girl and I don't trust her tastes because simply I don't know what her tastes are. And also because she's a girl.
I finally decided to play it and immediately remember seeing the commercials for this movie---and I remember thinking to myself, Liam Neeson? Hardcore bad ass extraordinaire? No way, lame-o!
How wrong I was. This movie had the perfect pace and had a Bourne Identity feel to it without having crazy camera shakes so that you have no idea what's happening in the action sequences. I'm telling you, Liam Neeson was one bad mother in this movie. He was what Jack Bauer should have been in seasons 4, 5, and 6 but wasn't. I'm gonna take it a step further and--- I can't believe I'm saying this --- possibly more gangster than Jack Bauer was in seasons 1, 2 and 3.
Even though this was a super actiony movie, I actually got real emo near the end of the movie. They could have probably ended it at that last boat scene and it would have still been a great ending.
She says "You came for me." With tears in her eyes, she repeats "You came for me" but more as a question than a statement. She didn't understand his love for her until that moment. But for him it was simple. Which is why all he could say in response to her was "I said I would."
