Taken




This is one of those movies which stay in your memory for a while and let you think about bad things that happen.
It is great action movie. It has the same sort of storyline as Man on Fire so if you liked that film, then you will definitely like this movie.
Liam Neeson in the main role as former agent Bryan Mills is non-complex character. As he says in one of his lines he's "retired, but not dead" having an opportunity to show everyone what he knows to do best. The movie covers a hot topic too, kidnapping young women to force them to prostitute, and all the business that this involves.In this film he fights for his daughter and he will not stop for anything. He kills just about every Albanian prostitute trafficker in the entire city of Paris (apparently there are quite a few of them).You love to watch him seek revenge and feel for him the whole time, maybe just because its Liam Neeson, can you help yourself from loving this guy? He is such a great actor and shows himself as a badass with charm.
The writer is one of the best directors Luc Besson.
Some lines are in a wrong language (english instead of french) and there are some Rambo-stuff. Maybe some moments in the story I found a not so convincing , but the rest of the movie makes up to that.It had good action, a good story, some humor. There are also some sentimental scenes. Finally an action movie that doesn't try to give some oddities to the characters to make them more interesting but just straightforward high speed action .
In main opinion this is surprisingly good movie and you should definitely watch.
