"I have a special set of skills and if you violate these rules then I will hunt down your process and kill it."
Great writing

It's a quote from 96 hours:
"Bryan: [...] 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 pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
Typo? It's from Taken.

Looks like you are both correct: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/96_Hours
A full list of foreign titles for "Taken" :
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0936501/releaseinfo#akas
The worst localized title I know is "Die Hard: With a Vengeance", mysterious called (literally) "Die Hard - Mega Hard" in Denmark. Schwarzenegger's "Red Heat" is (translated) "A Russian cleans up Chicago".
or "Die Hard" (literally) "die slow"
How does that link prove anything?

The first four words on that page are "96 Hours (Originaltitel: Taken)".
I don't speak any german, but I have a pretty good idea of what that means.
> "96 Hours (Originaltitel: Taken)"

That's what I was trying to evoke. I forgot to look up the actual quote. I think I'll update now to map the original better.
