South Park said it best, "Say what you want about Mel Gibson but the son of a gun knows story structure". This movie was such a pleasant surprise. And anything with motorcycle chases is an automatic plus for me...except Torque that's just bad.
struggle to see the film as all that similar to Taken. It shares the idea of a father with skills saving his daughter, but beyond that they're very different. This movie is primarily about the relationship between a father and a daughter with some action. Taken sets up a relationship with the daughter, and then the movie about the action saving her. It's about a father that is trying to save the only thing good in his life her daughter knowing well there is no going back for him pushing everything to save her and not caring for his life in the process.
the movie is grounded to reality in a very believable and convincing way with a satisfying ending. what got my attention and was very clever is building the tension throughout the movie with minimal usage of music ,not like most of movies do these days, most of the tension is felt through the characters performance and camera movement. t was a great balance of story, action, pacing, suspense, and even a bit of intrigue with the part about the cartel dealer.Regarding the biker ranch, I think that provided some backstory to Gibson's character, showing why he was such a bad ass.
If it's not Gibson's official comeback as an actor, not sure what will it take for me it was and I highly recommend it
