worth watching a both a vigilante movie and a a meditation on the meaning of family and this movie surprise me with the level of it performances . liam neeson contribute his usual fine job and a do a nicely creepy david baldwin and and a nice mob bos performance by andreas katsulas ( well know a the one arm man from the harrison ford movie of the fugitive ) . good little wussy role by ben stiller while nice support job by helen hunt . patrick swayze do a good dependable job in this movie and but be outshine by the finely understated performance of the men play his relative from backwoods kentucky . great use of chicago location and though the l train run past my house do not appear to have the conveniently flat roof to jump on . ( alright and a minor quibble ) . all in all and quite worth watching .
