Director Pierre Morel has made a film, in a more than realistic way, which represents the dark and evil part of the world. The cast consists of Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Xander Berkeley, Famke Janseen, Katie Cassidy and Olivier Rabourdin. The story is about a retired former secret agent who tries to reconnect with his lost teenage daughter Kim, the girl. decides to leave for Paris with her friend Amanda. The two girls are eventually kidnapped to be sold by unscrupulous Albanian markets. The father will only have 96 hours to save his Kim, so begins an adventure between gangs of Albanians and former corrupt colleagues. The film depicts a violence that is perhaps even too excessive, as you will see there will be the electric chair used to make those who know speak, this is justified by the evident desperation of the man who is looking for his daughter. Furthermore, the cruelty with which Albanian men buy poor girls as if they were diamonds is evident. As for the performance of the actors, the actor Neeson plays an excellent role in a bad role but he succeeds, also interesting is the role of the young Kim (played by Maggie Grace) who represents a fragile and strong girl at the same time, as you can see in the moment of the kidnapping, also an important role in the tormented father-daughter relationship is that of Kim’s mother (played by Famke Janssen) .The most important theme of this film is precisely the father-daughter relationship in which many girls and boys can mirror each other, it should also be noted that when a person is desperate, in this case Bryan the father of Kim, is willing to reach an unimaginable level of cruelty. In short, a thirty million dollar film, probable blockbuster for the his professionalism, absolutely recommended because it makes you reflect on many things, the first on the fact that you should not trust anyone.
