"Taken" is a hard hitting, action packed thrill ride, that will be sure to have you wanting more.
Bryan Mills (Neeson) is forced to rely on former skills as an agent when his daughter is kidnapped in Paris by a group of foreign criminals. This film is alike certain films, but more like the Bourne series. I noticed a lot of similarities along the way. The fighting styles, fast paced camera movement, chases, and just the overall look of the characters. If your looking for in depth/Oscar winning picture, you won't find it here. This is most definitely for the thrills and entertainment. That's not going to say it has no story, because it certainly does.
There wasn't anything visibly wrong with this film. It did what it set out to do: entertain people with non stop action. It kept me entertained for the duration, and I was impressed.
If I come across another action film this year, that even comes close to this, I will be surprised. This is easily one of the best action movies of the decade.
