just watch it!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I have read some way past comments and some present. Hence I decided to give my opinion. Some really are harsh trolls and I can't see for why. This is film making from actors and new producers and what a blinding first job they done. Someone else wrote about fx being crap. I didn't see any fx accept gun shits but not every film needs to be a Liam neeson high budget taken. It was a breath of fresh air watch a real film. Made by Londoners in London and Hollywood. A lot of bottle that takes and a lot of legality I'd imagine. I hope they do abducted 2 and do get more money as I reckon mark harris could do really well here. A good little film. Yes very violent so you have been warned. No wonder it's picked up so many film festival awards. .....

This film reminds me of the movie Taken with Liam Nielson with a smaller budget of course. Nonetheless I think it was a good story. I really liked the London scenes. But I felt it took a little long for the family to go to the US. I love action movies and while this film isn't the best I've seen, it was far from the worst. I was interested all the way through and found myself rooting for the lead character. The story needs to be told. Awareness on this issue is long overdue. Would love to see this movie on a larger scale and certainly on a global. The cast was top-notch and I can imagine with a bigger budget for more action scenes this will do well in the theaters.

To the guy knocking others using fake ID's. I see 2 other 10 star reviews who are obviously associated with the film in some way. I honestly don't see how this movie won any awards. I wasn't expecting a "Taken" quality movie, although was hoping it would be, but it was definitely worse than I expected. I watched about 20 minutes or so and then started skipping through the movie hoping it would get better and then just gave up and skipped to the end since I hated to at least not finish it. If you like British movies or like Mark Harris then you "might" like this, but I wouldn't recommend it to my friends. I enjoy these types of movies, so I'm hoping the next one will turn out better.

The acting was wooden, the plot was poor. 1h26 of my life I won't get back. I guess they were trying to make something like Taken but unfortunately failed way short of both Taken films. The difference being that Liam Neeson has screen presence and can work his character with much more ability. The whole premise of the film was to play on Mark Harris' boxing career and his name as a local hero and warrior, but the fight scenes were terrible. Mark Harris' acting was probably the worst in the whole film, but that was a tightly run contest. It's very rare of ex-sportsmen to make a successful job of acting, and I think only Vinnie Jones has got anywhere close. Do yourself a favour, watch something else instead.
