Taken
Ass-kicking good times. It rides the line between rightous intentions and brutal violence with a sure-handed ease. The scripting is tight, the lensing is fantastic and Liam Neeson is a genuine badass - I would not want him to hit me.
I can see this making it to my top 11 of '09 list.
8.5/10
Farewell, Friend (Honor Amongst Theives) 1968
Charles Bronson and Alain Delon are stuck in a safe during a robbery, where they try to unravel just who it is that fucked them over and why.
Good tough-guy stuff with a cool, mod vibe, but the plot is a bit ridiculous... could use a remake ;)
6.5/10
