A very remarkable task for a 5-year rookie Director/Cinematographer PIERRE MOREL. A great leap from his debut film "DISTRICT 13" (from french film BANLIEUE 13). LIAM NEESON, as always, shines out in prothean roles and, this time, as a dad/ex-cia agent. The fulcrum of the story is when NEESON instructed his daughter about the inevitable. That she will be taken. A complete realization that there was absolutely nothing that he can do to save her daughter at that time. The plot is what gave this film a saving push. Good acting, sequence chronologies, great cinematography.
