Bristly, compact comment on brutality of modern "security." Maintains suspense, staves off pure lunacy impressively long.
VOR:②
Doesn't push lurking irony of armed, paranoid "protectors" far enough. Verhoeven might have nailed it. Proudly dispensable, though Neeson's weird career and his unreliable antihero give one pause.
