*** – Qui-Gon Jinn is pissed, and he’s gonna take it out on a bunch of frogs and Albanian scumbags! Liam Neeson plays a retired government operative/James Bond-type figure that goes to Paris to rescue his daughter (played by Shannon from “LOST”) who has been kidnapped by fiendish Albanian immigrants and sold into sexual slavery. There isn’t anything particularly new or inventive here, but it contains enough entertainment value to be worth a watch. It receives an extra star for heavily featuring Albanians, but immediately loses that extra star because it portrays the Albanians as a bunch of cartoonishly evil, scruffy-bearded, unkempt, smelly, ugly murderers. Wait a minute… I think I just described myself pretty accurately (except for the ‘murderer’ part).
