Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRuth Wilson was cast as Jo Durkin (who is a male character in the books), and filmed all of her scenes as Liam Neeson's partner. But director Scott Frank felt that Neeson's character should be a loner, so all of Wilson's scenes were cut.
- GoofsDuring the fight in the basement, the table starts to break before they fully hit it, making it obvious that the table wasn't "real", also Scudder picks up the table leg and it is obviously cut straight across rather then jagged like a break would be.
- Quotes
Matt Scudder: I do favors for people, and in return, they give me gifts. So, what can I do for you?
- Alternate versionsUK theatrical version was cut by the distributor to secure a "15" rating (a scene of sexual threat (including an aggressive use of the word 'cunt')). This version was also released on DVD/Blu-ray.
Featured review
Liam Neeson towers in this film, very believable and a brooding presence of regretfulness and one making a living without a path anymore in life but one whose street savvy and street instincts are still honed.
While still living with a moral code, his past and need to look out for the small guy, gets him dragged into a case where there are elements playing from various side, and one which raises a question on to what you should or should not do in the case of kidnappings, with Scudder(Neeson) showing how to take control and push forward.
This is a great detective thriller, keeps you engrossed, great script, strong acting and thoroughly enjoyable and
