Decent film but this would never happen in real life. Ok I get it. You want to come clean and turn yourself in. Go down to the station and prove that you're the In & Out Bandit. Then make a deal before you return the money. Would of saved a lot of trouble. Rather than going to the station he calls the FBI and says he wants to confess. Instead of the FBI asking him to come in, they send two agents to meet him at his hotel room. After clearly proving himself to be the theif. Without a legit deal he then sends the agents to grab the money from his storage locker. That made no sense to me. Anyways, the agents find the money and decide to keep it for themselves. I don't know what these agents were thinking but then again this is a Liam Neeson film. The agents then go back to the hotel room and attempt to murder the honest thief. Right before they're about to shoot him, another agent knocks on the door. They let the agent in and then murder him. Super unrealistic but ok. Then Liam Neeson does what Liam Neeson does in every Liam Neeson film. He beats everyone up and gets away. Now here's where I get lost. When the investigating officer asks the agents what happened. They say they walked into the room and the agent was already dead. Did this hotel not have cameras? Did the investigator not care what the suspect looked like? In real life the FBI is definitely asking for surveillance footage. It would of also clearly proved that the agents were in the hotel room at the time of the murder. At this point I'm blown away by how foolish the plot is becoming. I could go on and on how unrealistic this film is. In the end this movie wasn't terrible. It had some good action scenes and Liam Neeson was a total badass as usual. I just felt not much thought went into the writing of this movie. Either way it was a solid Liam Neeson film. 6 stars.
