Because he certainly doesn’t look anything like Liam Neeson.

Solidly made with a touch of class and style, backed up by an interesting central plot conceit and a solid leading man in Neeson.

But once the big twist was revealed, it went pretty much down the drain. The twist actually stood up surprisingly well against the plot machinations that occurred previously, but virtually everything after that was absurd, especially the behavior of Neeson’s character. As a result, i’d pretty much tuned out by the finale.

Overall, watchable but ordinary and disposable. Rating: C+

Andrew O’Hehir of Salon calls it “the thriller Inception wishes it could be,” and the two critics on Ebert’s show just gave it strong thumbs up. I still will probably wait for a rental, though.
