Viewing Notes
A rewatch; saw this in the theater back during my first set of knee surgeries, so it seemed appropriate to watch while recovering from my third knee surgery.
Doesn’t hold up as well on second viewing, but still a brutally violent movie.
One thing that does hold up is my absolute hatred for “Kim”, Neeson’s character’s daughter and the one he’s on a mission to save. I spent the entire movie praying and hoping for her death. She’s such a whiny “oh look I got a PONY for my birthday! I’m gonna pee!” bitch that I would actually whisper under my breath “please God, let her die by the end of this movie.”
Oh well, can’t have everything.
