Let's get the bad out of the way. Apparently Liam Neeson is superman. Apparently there are no cops in France that when you drive on the wrong side of the road they won't chase you. Had this taken place in NY he wouldn't have made it 4 blocks. There were aspects that were obviously very unrealistic--very Kill Bill-esque where Kiddo killed the Crazy 88 all by herself. However, I will say that those scenes are always very fun to watch. Very..."OMG, how are they gonna do it this time." Boom! Kick! Pow! "Yes! Awesome!" I will probably never watch this movie again. While most of the action scenes were pure Hollywood, unfortunately, the story line itself is very real--that's why this movie is worth watching. But like I said, only once. Knowing that what happened to those girls was actually happening to people while I was watching the movie made me sick to my stomach. It kind of bothered me that we don't know if he saved the rest of the girls, other than the one who he put the IV in. That would have added a little more punch to the ending of the movie. However, it's very hard to watch and not want to hop on the next flight to Europe and start burning down any building that looks like it has brothel characteristics (after taking out all of the girls and locking all of those pathetic, animalistic, heartless, gutless jerkoffs inside).
