badttboy This movie should be promoted as a Comedy/Thriller and not as an Action. It is dark comedy and the plot is very unbelievable. The plot was going really good until the Latvian woman appeared from out of nowhere in a remote area. Then to realize later on in the other scenes that she knew and was hunting one of them. How did she find them in the first place and it was presented as an innocent meeting as she appeared to be a lone bag packing hiker/camper and not someone prepared in any way to be on the hunt for villains. If that was not enough, she continued to keep finding in other scenes every time they got separated as if she was using a tracking device or had psychic powers. Oh well. Lucky I did not have much expectations for the plot as I have learned not to anymore or I end up not enjoying a movie. But I felt I had to leave a comment here as I believe it could have been a really great movie had the writer/director taken the time to make some easy logical changes to make it believable. Too bad they did not. Would have then been picked up and done well in the theaters.

gth-buildmain I thoroughly enjoyed this film, i was under no illusion that it would be a typical high budget unrealistic disaster and that is why i watched it! i enjoy watching home grown talent in familiar scenery that is well acted, with good plots, good screen plays that suit the actor and do the movie justice. So i personally would disregard the previous comment and give it a watch because i do not know what film he or she were viewing, and it is definatelly not film noir. Tim roth its nice to see you back on form, jack o'connell i thought you did a sterling job, but remember one thing please and that is do not become a danny dyer and become chained to one director because you have a bright future.

Tony Heck "For a guy to get along in this world he has to be very very careful." When slacker Adam (O'Connell) gets offered a job by his moms boyfriend to drive for a hit-man named Roy he gets more then he bargained for. What starts off as a simple assignment takes a turn for the worse as he encounters murders, sex trafficking and double crosses. I was very much looking forward to this movie. The producers of "Snatch" and "Lock Stock" made me excited to see it. The last movie I remember seeing that line on was "Layer Cake" which was awesome. This one started off a little slow and really never hit its stride. Even though it's about a hit-man and deals with murder and mayhem it is not an action movie at all. I kept waiting for it to let loose and really grab me but it really never did. This is closer to an art house hit-man movie then the type I was looking for and I had a hard time staying interested. Overall, slow moving and hard to stay focused on the whole time. I give it a B-.

cf91 With all the original elements of a British comedy thriller, The Liability sets to establish itself as a classic, putting a humorous spin on the dark reality of the hit-man profession. Rising British actor Jack O'Connell stars as Adam the 'Liability', a lazy, careless, immature 19 year old. Adam's mother (Kierston Wareing) is in a relationship with criminal Peter (Peter Mullan) who is portrayed as intimidating to say the least. Irritated, Peter finally has had enough of Adam's slacking and as a result gives him the ultimatum of working on a driving job for a business associate. Roy (played by Tim Roth) happens to be the business associate, a cool-headed professional assassin. Roth brings his criminal-acting experience from his previous role in the 1984 critically acclaimed British drama The Hit to play. Adam willingly and completely amorally asks tactful Roy to "Give us a go" and show him the ropes in how to dismember a body. The comically charismatic chemistry between both characters throughout the film cleverly develops from a mentor and student connection, to a relationship similar to that of a father and son.The pair are eventually interrupted by a Latvian woman (Talulah Riley) looking for revenge and bringing a darker plot of sex trafficking to the back story of the characters lives. The connection of the back-story and the Latvian woman leads the duo to a riveting chase, with more twists and backstabbing on the way, whilst still remaining humorous. The violent confrontation ends with an unpredictable, yet satisfying resolution. The Liability has achieved its status as a top British comedy thriller, with the ingredients of top notch acting, amusing remarks and an original plot.
