Just saw it in Paris. The action is pretty awesome. Liam Neeson kicks ass for practically the entire film. He kills just about every Albanian prostitute trafficker in the entire city of Paris (apparently there are quite a few of them) You'll be on the edge of your seat for most of the movie. Besson is a master at creating a bad ass and he has definitely succeeded here. The beginning of the movie is a little bit slow and awkward and the ending is anticlimactic (nobody cares about the pop singer), but the action is absolutely amazing. Neeson gives a really good performance. It's an excellent popcorn flick. It's not brilliant like the Professional but it is entertaining.
