Lower is better
Review
No propaganda spotted. The movie is a straight action thriller about Liam Neeson as a hitman with Alzheimer's who refuses to kill a child and hunts down the rich elites running a child sex trafficking ring. No girl power rewriting, no identity themes, and no activist lectures on anything modern. The story runs on personal code, revenge, and dementia complications with zero social justice messaging.
