Probably. I was more concerned that his daughter didn’t seem to give a shit that her friend was dead. Did they ever even tell the girl’s parents? What if they had wanted to get the police involved?
But overall a decent brainless action movie. The dialogue in the first 30 minutes was painfully bad, but I loves me some revenge.
I took this as a better aspect of the movie. These guys were all retired government employees, probably on fixed incomes. They were not rich at all - hence taking side jobs as security guards, buying daughter Mr. Microphone while step dad gets her a horse, etc. They were with him in spirit but couldn’t really afford to go jetting around Europe. If fact, Liam probably has to go back to work now since that little rescue mission for his baby probably ate up his savings.
On the plus side, he never needs to buy her a birthday gift ever again, and anything Stepdad gets her pales in comparison to a Get Out Of White Slavery Free Card.
“Oh, another horsey? That’s so cute. Remember when I killed 20 guys on that houseboat and freed you just before that fat fuck was about to take your virginity, honey?”
I doubt that one emergency flight to Europe really killed his savings. I’m sure he’d have doctored up a death certificate or phony dying relative to ensure that he got on the flight in the first place, so he’s probably only out a grand for the flight. And he didn’t pay for much else in the movie.
Didn’t he fly in a private jet provided by his ex-wife’s new husband?
And really, waaaaayyy too much thought put into a pedestrian, if pretty, movie.
Yup.
And yet I feel like the time I spent reading this was higher quality time than I spent watching the movie.
Agree fully with Scylla, by the way. I didn’t realize this film could stand up to any logical analysis, but it does…
Once you posit that a)Dad’s an Über-Badass; b)Dad has Badass Resources; c)Über-Badasses have that ÜberHealingFactor; and c)Bad guys can’t aim.
