I thought it was a well done film that rises above most of Neeson's other movies. Only The Grey was better in the last 10 years and obviously Schindler's List is in another ballpark altogether. Two problems with the film for me though. And for those who freak out any time they see the term "plot hole" we can also call them plot unlikelihoods if that makes you feel better. Anyway,
1. Letting the groundskeeper run away and not killing him makes no sense for the high IQ psychopaths. He could easily go to the police immediately and cut a deal or just do the right thing like anyone with a conscience would have and accept whatever punishment he gets. But even if he doesn't do that, he's still a loose end that could eventually catch up with them. They would have known that and taken him out.
2. Agreeing to meet in the cemetery was asinine. There could have been any number of armed henchman or even law enforcement, SWAT, etc, present. While Neeson standing up to them on the phone does probably mean he's not an on duty cop, it doesn't mean there won't be multiple snipers in the woods at the meeting an hour later.
