Yes it's stupid. Yes the set up & reactions are absurd. (Especially from the French Govt. officials, blaming an innocent man trying to find his kidnapped daughter, for the fact that the most vile scum imaginable are trying to kill him, & get killed in the process. "A trailer got destroyed!" Uhhhh. And the 100 under aged girls that he exposed there, that were kidnapped, raped, drugged, tortured, and murdered???? Yeah, right. Conveniently, no one mentions that in the dialog...) And yes, they have Liam's character being "Superman". But! The movie redeems itself to 2 1/2 stars by having almost constant action that is mostly "believable" (for a movie; unlike some of Willis' fair, or movies like "The Transporter" LOL!!!!!), not too offensive in it's absurdity, and particularly, because they have Liam's character always kicking butt, and not making any bones about it. (a la Clint Eastwood films) e.g. You don't "love tap" people trying to kill you. You shoot them. Immediately. You don't wait. You shoot them in the back (of the head) if you have to. You don't hang around. You don't talk. Etc. Yes, it still suffers a little from the Hollywood Syndrome I refer to as "Resurrection Syndrome" (i.e. the "main" bad guy is killed 1,562 times in the first 45 min., etc.), but not with most of the bad guys! Hence, 2 1/2 stars. So if you want constant action, and some real a$$ kicking, put your logical mind on hold, strap yourself in, and watch this flick.
