Couple of things, though:

Is it ever specifically mentioned that Mills is ex-CIA? I thought he was just supposed to be ex-who-knows-what.

Agreed regarding Amanda. She’s so unfathomably boneheaded that her ultimate fate earned naught but a burly shoulder-shrug from me, and actually comes within shouting distance of being a sort of hard justice. (Semi-vague spoiler. Sorry.)

Perhaps this is just the anime freak/voice actor stalker in me coming out, but you failed to mention that Liam Neeson’s voice has to be in the top three most kickass ever. The whole “find you, kill you” bit? If I had been the bad guy on the other end, I would’ve immediately responded with, “I’m very sorry. Here’s your daughter and a meat and cheese tray.”
