Taken Review


Are you ready for an andrenaline kick? Taken may be the ticket for you. Basically the story involves Liam Neeson as a retired army guy that can really enforce security and protect important people, and his daughter. In the movie, he is divorced and really loves his daughter but doesn't get a lot of time to see her and spend with her. She is a typical 17 year old who wants to live it up and travel all over, while he is more cautious and protective as her dad. She ends up taking a trip overseas and doesn't tell him the whole story which opens the door for her to get kidnapped by some guys intent on selling her into the sex-trade market. This movie was really fast paced, and I felt developed enough of the characters that you really felt for Liam's character and sympathized with his love for his daughter. Good acting, and excellent action scenes make this movie fun to watch as well as intense. If you like movies that keep the action coming or TV shows like "24", you most likely will enjoy "Taken". I recommend it.
