Taken from Blockbuster.co.uk
A former government operative comes out of retirement and uses on his extensive training to rescue his estranged daughter from a slave trade operation.
I watched this at the weekend and I have to say, I'm quietly impressed. It took over 30mins to actually get going and considering it was only 1.5hours long I thought oh dear.
It is so so far fetched beyond belief but some of the action scenes are fantastic. Well worth the watch and the depiction of the slave/prostitute trade is really quite moving.
The lead character is Liam Neeson. I haven't seen anything with him in apart from Love Actually when he plays the stepdad of the ginger kid. So going from shy dad to ex-military type man is a bit unbelievable.
His daughter is Maggie Grace. I know her from Lost when she played Boone's sister. She's a fittie, shame she is only in it for about 20mins and plays a 17 year old 
Anyway, well worth the watch. The action sequences are quite gripping.

I can't get my head around the brothel scene in the quarry.
Why would you want to pay to shag someone who you know is captive outside of their will and quite clearly completely off their tits on drugs.
It'd be like humping a mannekin, and you wouldn't pay for that.
Great film though. Really enjoyed it.
Her childish run grated on me as well though actually.

Oh, I don't mean the actual story line of the brothel, girls being targeted at the airports being far fetched, I mean 1 man taking on Albanian gangs single handedly and winning.

I'm trying to decide whether to watch this today, or Bad Boys 2 again. BB2 is winning, just.
