Also in this film Neeson says probably his most famous ever line, in which he is on the phone and he says
"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not peruse you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you"
