Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Bryan wants to find out who the kidnappers are, somebody gives them a description that's says something about Yugoslavia. While there is no such country anymore, the Yugoslavian Republic long since having separated into numerous smaller countries, it's still a recent enough event in history that people commonly refer to the area as "Yugoslavia", partially due to the number of countries now there, some of which are only a year or two old.

Just saw the movie in the sneak preview. First of all this movie will get a lot of those people who will whine about everything that is not realistic really (If you are one of those, you'll have a lot to whine about). But if you can just enjoy a movie as its intended to be and you appreciate some action this movie is near perfect. The main character is so pure and non complex. Finally an action movie that doesn't try to give some oddities to the characters to make them more interesting but just straightforward high speed action .
Watching this movie was a great experience and I was surprised that I could enjoy an action movie this much. My tip: sit down, enjoy the ride and don't moan about imperfections.
