A really good, enjoyable film but so NOT what I was expecting. A Liam Neeson film where he's a tough guy out for revenge? Well... not really... Think "Fargo" or "In Bruges" or early Tarantino. It's a quirky, off-beat comedy with some moments of violence and a LOT of black humour. Enjoyable, with a great supporting cast but don't expect "Taken" Neeson.

Holy shit. Horrible characters, over the top acting, generic dialogue... this movie's got it all. Obviously tries to be Kill Bill, but fails on humor, style, writing, direction, and everything else.

Marketing: It's the best _Taken_ since _Taken_.
Me: It's the same _Taken_ since _Taken_.

This Coen Brothers knock-off made me want to see the Norwegian original (_In Order of Disappearance_, by the same director).

P. S. How could they do Laura Dern and Emmy Rossum like that?

I really don't know what to think of this movie. Really strange. I got the feeling it might be when I heard the quirky music at the beginning.

I don't like spoilers so I try not to do "research" about movies prior to seeing them. I have seen only one trailer at the theaters and I was under the impression that this is an action packed movie. Only that it isn't. It has a lot of irrelevant humor in it. Felt more like a comedy than action. Apparently this is a remake so whoever has seen the original has an idea what to expect.

And the main thing - I just watched the official trailer and the whole movie is in it including some scenes that didn't even make the movie! The rest that didn't make it are the jokes. And the car that is impaled like the picture of the movie on here - it is not even in the movie!

I **loved** this movie. Probably Liam Neeson’s best movie in years as a matter of fact. It’s high energy, action packed, littered with subtle humour. A lot of death and you’ll never look at a snow plough in the same way ever again!

Boy I loved this! What an unexpected hilarious and quirky and beautiful film. I really enjoyed it much more than I expected. Good stuff! Only one or two jokes fall completely flat in a "hmm not sure why we're making that joke in 2019" way.

What's interesting is how MANY aspects of the movie are bad. Like it's just wildly confusing and off.

I liked this movie. Liam Neeson has a formula that works for him. Getting revenge for his sons death and killing straight up the ladder. Entertaining movie.

This is a terrible terrible film. Was it supposed to be funny? Because that's the impression I got from the way it listed the dead. It did not make me laugh, not once.

It was mean spirited, I didn't care about any of the so-called characters, and it was boring. One to miss I think.

A decent movie but not at all what I was expecting. This is not a typical Liam Neeson action movie. It's more of a awkward comedy/action movie. The story definitely takes some unexpected turns. The comedy is really hit or miss, most of it is just awkward moments. What a waste of Laura Dern.
