Absolutely the worst camera work

** Dudes ** The editing is to save money.
The quick cuts mean they do not have to do extended takes. Instead, they do a comic-book montage of impacts, and the "action" is all by inference. You get one SUV doing a turnover, and that's all. It's all to save money. -

Am watching it on HBO right now. You know why the camera work is so bad? Liam Neeson did not shoot the scenes with Famke Jansen nor the daughter. In the second scene when Neeson goes to the house you will see some strange camera angles and then you notice the over the shoulder shots where Jansen is talking to a stand-in, and then Neeson is talking to a stand-in. Then the scene at the boyfriend's house Neeson did not film this with the other actors, he did it with stand-ins! There was a lot of editing and stitching together in post-production. And once you notice it in the early scenes you can't help but notice it throughout the movie. It is kind of mesmerizing since you will kind of pierce the fourth wall when realizing this is just a movie, to them just a job. Watch it again!

I agree it was distracting and irritating.
But I kinda figured it was because Neeson is too old to do the fight scenes. So they had to do a lot of quick cutting to give the illusion of grace and speed when he was probably barely moving.
I give them a pass on it..they made it work as best they could.

I agree. I had to pause the DVD a few times since it gave me a whiplash. Outright horrible camera work.
The images of Istanbul were crap too. I visited Turkey a few times and it's extremely pretty in Istanbul, but they took such horrible images. Even a 12 year old with an iPhone, taking shots for instagram can take better scenery shots than that. What the hell were they thinking?
Did they hire Turks to film the entire movie or something? It just felt..so off compared to the last one.
