It's a watchable film with a reasonable plot and acting. The dialogue is atrocious. It's weird seeing a writer/director phoning it in and barely telling a good story. It's strange to see an American movie filmed in Australia. I live in Melbourne and have been to Canberra, so it was nice recognising the filming location, the streets, buildings, plants etc. Neeson is pretty good. Quinn is similar to his role in Elementary, playing another boss. The dialogue between family members about paranoia etc don't make much sense. He's got a right to be wary of danger given his line of work. Making him seem mentally ill wasn't necessary. Nice ending, but no twists or surprises. Fairly implausible that it would end so smoothly and the world would be a better place just because of this. The dialogue between the journalists was awful, so was the hit man guy talk. 'You want us to have a word with him?' give me a break. Corny action movie rubbish. 1980s style car chases too. Eugh. Seen it before. Someone else pointed out the Porsche could outrun those SUVs easily.
