Spoiler (highlight to read): Things work out a little too conveniently for him. I understand he’s good at what he does, but come on. But come on, how can he kill 5 guys in a small kitchen without even getting a scratch? He didn’t shed any blood until the last 5 minutes of the movie. Plus I thought they could have had a better twist with the movie. So Neeson and his friends are sitting around grilling and what not and Uncle Rico asks him if his daughter appreciates everything he’s given up for her. I thought that would be foreshadowing for events to come. So obviously his friends are in the same business as he was, which means they got similar skill set. I figured that they would be the ones responsible for kidnapping his daughter. When Neeson asks his friends to help translate the Albanians, they easily could have given him wrong info to send him on a wild goose chase. He’d eventually save his daughter and she’d finally realize everything he’s given up to be in her life. Or if they wanted to take a different approach, he would have to revert back into his old killing ways to save his daughter and in doing so would realize that he can’t retire from this b/c he’s too good at what he does. But then again, 80’s movies weren’t exactly known for their twisting plots and in-depth character development. (end)
