A walk amongst the tombstones
Liam Neeson plays Liam Neeson in this Taken like film, although the feel is much less wham-bam and far darker and tense, with a 7even type of feel.
So in effect it's nothing like Taken, other than the fact Liam Neeson leads in both...Liam Neeson plays Liam Neeson in this Taken like film, although the feel is much less wham-bam and far darker and tense, with a 7even type of feel.
It ain't about his estranged family
He isn't ex special forces
It's not about his revenge, and he doesn't actually kick much ass in "A Walk..."
He's an ex tough cop with some crippling issues hired to help a gang get revenge... dark and tense is right.
Liam Nesson doing the tough guy routine - check
Ex cop vs ex special forces
Kidnapped daughter vs kidnapped other people
there are some pretty clear parallels, and I point out the differences
It's not exactly Liam Neeson in Love Actually is it!
S'fine you think there are parallels..I don't..lets move on
'71 - absolutely brilliant ( 9 /10 )
Northern Ireland troubles brought home and edge of the seat tension on whether the squaddie hero will make it back to the Barracks after being left behind when a riot turns ugly.
Great atmosphere - a car or bus burning on the street in most shots and sudden and unexpected violence shakes you to the enormity of the dangers that abound. Enjoy.

A Bronx Tale
Finally got round to watching this. So many familiar faces, almost seemed like half the cast of The Sopranos were in this film. Good storyline and acting, not quite as good as the classics like Goodfellas or Casino but still a good film. Also spotted a few lines and scenes that were referenced in a Jay Z song and a video for one of his other tracks.

Guys, if the OH in your life decides she wants to sit you through yet another romantic comedy then suggest Stuck in Love:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2205697/?ref_=nv_sr_1
The title makes it sound utter s
t but actually, in the same vein as 'Crazy Stupid Love', it was actually quite good. I would describe it more as a 'nice little indie film' - not surprising given the writer also did Little Miss Sunshine.
I like Greg Kinnear, the two adolescent actors were unknown to me and good, and Jennifer Connelly is still hot.
