Entertaining film all around, great acting by cast.

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2008)

This movie was well made and really captivating, both story wise and flow. Before watching the film, I remembered seeing a preview for it, and in it it showed how his daughter went to Paris, and then they spoke on the phone as her friend and she were being kidnapped. The preview continued with the phone conversation that followed between Liam Neeson's character, Brian, and Marko. This scene happened early on in the movie, and it was followed by a good hour of dramatic rescue activity and action scenes that showed Brian's fighting skill and his shooting and aiming abilities. Taken had a great cast, Liam Neeson was awesome and played his role confidently, using his natural suaveness to kick ass and beat the hell out of some Albanians. The rest of the cast played their roles as well. One issue that shows up is the cars in the movie are mostly automatic and there is one which is kind of both, but aren't cars in France manual?
