---> it's an action-suspense-thriller film that will surely satisfy your craving for a good movie. I love this movie. even from the start, it was interesting already. it is generally about a father-daughter relationship, about how a father would do anything out of love for his daughter. it's a touching and heartbreaking film at the beginning. a lot of action scenes all throughout which is the part that i somewhat disliked from the movie (they were so brutal). but still it amazed me as to how only one man can do all the killing and fighting. the storyline was mainly outstanding. just the idea of how one person using his special skills from like re-enactments of the actual incident, finding clues, how he can just go in and out from an exclusive event, and how he easily traces the criminals with the given time of 96 hours. it somehow depicts reality, as to how dangerous the world can be. but then it also shows that we can rely on the most important persons in our lives. its a must watch film. you'll love it from start to end.

::: LINES :::

LENORE: I don't get you.
BRYAN: What?
LENORE: You sacrificed our marriage to the service of the country, you've made a mess of your life in the service of your country; can't you sacrifice a little one time for your own daughter?
BRYAN: I would sacrifice anything for her.

BRYAN: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
MARKO: [after a long pause] Good luck.

BRYAN: A friend gave this to me. Its Albanian. You mind translating it?
MARKO: [translates paper] "Good luck".
BRYAN: You don't remember me? We spoke on the phone two days ago. I told you I would find you.
