Taken

Now that was a good movie. Taken stars Liam Neeson, a man with extra ordinary skills, but more importantly a father who will do everything it takes to get his kidnapped daughter back. Now when I say "everything" I mean everything! Liam Neeson fills the role of a James Bond that is desperate and rough. He is not suave and will go to no ends to find his daughter - there were a couple of instances in this movie that surprised me in that regard. Acting was good. A few things were not in place like his ability to run free from certain situations, but overall very entertaining.

This is a movie I plan to go see as soon as it is in my area. I think it will be a great movie by all the trailers I have seen.

I saw this movie over the weekend. I have to say that I really liked the movie. The fact that he did as he promised his daughter is what made the movie good. He was a very confident man who knew what his skills were and how to use them.

I would give this movie 2:starblue:

It is good that you think so, it was not accepted well by critics and got stuffed with bad reviews for being too typical. Of course he was a bit Ramboish in some areas, but the story covered that he was already trained and had contacts in intelligence. This gave plenty of reasons for doing what he did. It was not overdone like Die Hard 4.0. I like the most this line:

How many of us wish we could have a parent that serious about us? I'm not advocating killing, I'm just saying the man isn't joking around.

Yes I liked how he simply stated what he would do. I also liked how he remembered the voice and found the guy by having him read it when he was talking to all of them.

Great movie! Liam Neeson's role of a father who is willing to do literally anything to save his daughter is incredible. I enjoyed this film very much specially because Liam is one of my favorite actors (his portrait of Oscar Schindler in Schindler's List was impeccable). I liked the part when he goes to talk with his friend in France (the one that was involved) and tell him about the first guy he found. He told him he was dead and the friend raising an eyebrow answers "Did you find him that way?" *laughs*

Having said that, I found it to be a bit stereotypical about certain ethnicities and of course a little unrealistic in some aspects but overall a great film that I hope make everyone realize the dangers out there and the horrific reality of human trafficking.

Most movies like this is based on luck. Training or no training how likely is it for any on man to pull this off? I thought the movie was OK, not something I'd be willing to watch a second time.

This is the way I like to take in movies that have a low reality threshold (although I thought this one was not very far from reality), basically if you can picture the main character as the one who happened to be lucky enough just on that day and time out of a million, and just so happens that if you could have a camera hanging around then this is what you will see. I mean it is all the same with people who win multi-million dollar lotteries, what is really the likely hood of that happening. Taken was great because it was not just a matter of man fighting off bad guys, it was a man who wanted his daughter back and he was willing to do anything to make it happen!
