"Re-watched @ Blu-ray Not many films hold up so good, even after a millionth re-watch, as Taken does. Watching Liam Neeson, the most bad-ass active actor today, search and destroy Paris in order to find his daughter is very high entertainment value. Which cinema is all about. Certainly, this is a film that's more likely to succeed amongst Neeson fans, which I am. But for anyone who manages to occasionally appreciate a straightforward, simple, yet thrilling action film with an emotional core t"

“Usually spy film has had as protagonists with individuals cold, hard and deadly whose only motivations are defined in country and duty. As a novelty, Taken portrays us emotionally damaged character, in a period, twilight and trying to recover a lost life. That emotional approach, which is completely dedicated start of the film, is perhaps aimed at identifying with a character closer to the figure of the loser, than that of the hero. Bryan is an ordinary man with everyday problems, paragraph by most wants and that despite their efforts, at times touchingly pathetic-fails fit your new routine. The kidnapping, the rest of the film catalyst, is your chance to feel valid and, based on extraordinary acts, recover the lost love. From that moment begins and also the action routine. Europe is once ” read more

"1st viewing, Netflix 24 March 2013 Director: Pierre Morel Ugh. I don't know if there were a lesson in this movie but it might go a little something like this: "Don't let your seventeen-year-old daughter travel to Europe alone with her friend(s). She'll most likely be kidnapped by mobsters and sold into prostitution." Funny in a way, but not funny enough. "
