This movie really changed Neeson's reputation. Before this he was never much of a tough guy. That's not to say he never got fight scenes - Rob Roy, Phantom Menace, Batman Begins. But none of those are particularly gritty. Since then we get The Grey, Memory, and even his comedic appearance in Ted 2.
I gotta say as an Albanian I wasn't offended by the bad guys being Albanian gangsters. It's actually very accurate lol. People resort to gang activity in Albania and outside as well because there's no opportunities for most people lol. And yes, a lot of the really bad Albanian gangsters come from Tropoja Albania. Main reason why Albania is poor is because of a communist dictatorship that lasted for nearly fifty years and 10 years of anarchy that followed thereafter.
