Adding to this- I love that the stepfather, while not a former military man or anything dangerous of that sort, does everything he can to help Liam Neeson save her. Pretty much pays Liam's way to fuck those guys up and save his stepdaughter- Liams daughter- and doesn't hem or haw about "oh gosh why don't we just call the authorities or pay her ransom instead of whatever you're doing oh no golly gosh". I imagine a different movie where Liam and the Stepdad- both elite former military men but from different groups- put aside what differences they might have to band together to fuck up the kidnappers. "Stepdad and Dad Fuck Up Everyone", in theaters near you soon.
