Finally got round to watching it.
Liam Neeson great as always, the story and twist in the tale are very good.
[spoiler]The plot does resemble Bourne in that Neeson loses his memory, finds out he was one of the baddies and his id ( the person he thinks he is ) is fake, but far less action, and more mis-direction, I honestly fell for the idea that his wife was real and being coerced, never even considered that he was an assassin until an hour into the movie. To support this mis-direction the action suffered as Neeson stayed in the fake id character without covert/fighting skills until very near the end.
Sadly though the other characters were lame, and it was a bit slow, so dont expect another Taken, and no where near as good as Bourne or others in the genre.[/spoiler]
Mezz says well worth watching, 7/10
