3.0*/5.0*

Antal and Neeson team up for a cute little thriller that spends most of its time in a car driving around Berlin. It's a solid enough setup, add some twists and Neeson's typical performance and you have a proper genre film that easily entertains for 90 minutes. Just don't expect anything more.

The plot is simple enough, there are some decent action scenes and the build-up of tension is apt. The pacing is nice too and the runtime is limited, a good thing for a film that spends all of its time in a single location. I knew exactly what I was getting when I started this film and wasn't disappointed by the result. Solid.
