Synopsis: Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) is a retired CIA agent desperately trying to spend more time with his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace), after being away from her life for so long. Divorced from his wife, Bryan is finally starting to reconnect with his daughter when Kim decides to visit Europe with a friend. Bryan soon discovers that rather than visiting museums and exploring Paris, Kim will be following the U2 tour across Europe. Having traveled the world, Bryan warns against the dangers of Europe, but concedes and lets Kim take the trip with a few stipulations: she must call him every night to let him know that she is safe.

Kim neglects to call Bryan after landing in Paris and Bryan quickly becomes worried. Bryan calls Kim to find out that her friend Amanda lied about staying with cousins in Paris and that Kim and Amanda will be staying in the apartment alone. While on the phone with Bryan, things quickly deteriorate when Kim spots kidnappers abducting her friend Amanda and Bryan knows she is next. While still on the phone, the kidnappers soon discover Kim hiding and take her. One of the kidnappers picks up the phone and Bryan gives him a choice: hand over Kim or be killed.

Synopsis: Samir Horn (Don Cheadle), a devout American Muslim, and a former U.S. Army Special Forces expert in explosives, has been mysteriously showing up on the FBI’s radar for being in the area of terrorist bombings. FBI agent Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) heads up a task force investigation to link Horn to these bombings. Clayton is able to question Horn after he was arrested in Yemen for attempting to sell explosives to an Islamic terrorist group. The terrorists break out of prison and take Horn with them. With the help of Max Archer (Neal McDonough), Clayton is able to link Horn to a bombing of an American Consulate in Nice, and a failed police raid to capture his top terrorist contact in London. Clayton has been pursuing Horn around the world and has tracked him to the United States. Clayton must capture Horn before he strikes his next target.

This seems a bit more rigorous than what the Americans go through:

Remember the lovable Claudio from Long Way Round and Long Way Down? Those treks haven’t been his only world explorations, in fact, Claudio has filmed and documented cultures located in a variety of remote locations, including the mountains of Afghanistan, the rain forests of New Guinea, and the front lines in Iraq. This latest film from him follows a group of philanthropists on an anti-slavery campaign to deliver 4×4 vehicles to humanitarian organizations in Sierra Leone. As always, I’ve hidden a nice little extra in this post – if you’re unsure how to access it, contact me:
