The line from the #1 trailer, after Jackie Chan says: "30,000 Pounds, ("that's all I have" is also omitted from the trailer) for the name of the bombers." the line "That's not how we do things here." spoken by Commander Richard Bromley Ray Fearon is not in the actual movie. Instead Commander Bromley touches the money and has a more lame (and probably politically correcter) answer: "I'm sorry but we can't take this." See more »

An innocent child is the victim in a terrorist bomb but the perpetrators do not know of the desperate determination and grit of the victim's father.
There are two astonishing performances: first from Jackie Chan as the aggrieved father; and second from Pierce Brosnan as a suspicious and duplicitous politician.
Jackie Chan is outstanding as the grieving parent out for justice. And despite some action being of the kung fu variety that does not detract from a great show.
Pierce Brosnan is equally remarkable, displaying amazing realism in his portrayal of an Irish political leader.
This movie is highly recommended:
8/10.
