Moral of the story ....never fook with kids of old retired spooks that retained their specific skills !
You will enjoy this !!
But not as good as Jon Voight. :-)
Hmmm . . . wonder who is scarier – an old retired spook or a really pissed off mom?
Thanks for the recommendation.
In the movies case .....the spook. In your case ya win !
You’ll like it.....just keep Eeeeek away from 16 penny nails and jumper cables for a while after he gets home.
Well hell - there goes our sex life! ;-0
Soon as I hit post I said .......this’ll be good.
I thought is was down with transporter. Gran Torino was far superior as was defiance. Nilsen was good but the movie was low caliber.
Zed’s dead?
The poster of the year.
Aslan kicks a**, again!
Could very well be...
Yes, and what a fun ride...
>> ‘Taken’ is a good movie, and I recommend it. (PG-13)
Good. If it reviews well here, it’s worth seeing.
I saw this movie a few months ago in Costa Rica. It is a great action movie.
He is my favorite actor. My computer wallpaper is Neeson in a kilt in Rob Roy.
I also heard about it here, which is why I went to see it.
Practically non-stop...
SMASH!!!!!!!!!!
