Jaume Collet-Serra does an effective job of keeping you guessing. He did the same with ORPHAN. He knows how to keep you in the story. He knows how to visually build suspense. He’s even able to get a decent performance out of January Jones (did you see X-MEN: FIRST CLASS?)
Would January Jones really go back to try to diffuse the bomb at the end? I know she states she’s worried about being linked to it but it she’s aware of how much time is left. She had to know she wouldn’t disarm it in time.
Liam Neeson does a nice job as the lead. He gains our sympathy early on and never lets go. Bruno Ganz steals his scenes. How is it he’s not getting more work?
The chase sequences are stale and the film could've been shorter but all in all, worth viewing.
