Women + Paris + Mob = Liam Neeson and his search for his daughter.

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2009)

Now first off, let me warn you that this movie is pretty heavy. The material in it (family affairs, prostitute affairs) are pretty, how to say, touching to our hearts, and in fact some people in the theater room were crying. You know, this movie might be PG-13, but just the material in it deserves an R rating. But anyways, I saw this movie yesterday and frankly, after all the crap I read in the newspaper on this movie, I don't understand how such a good movie can get away with such low reviews. Time in this movie moves by really fast, and I give an average of a stunt per minute to this movie. This thing literally boosts your adrenaline and you are not bored a minute. I even found it more entertaining than Quantum Of Solace (I'd give QOS an 8/10, but I haven't reviewed it yet).
Story: Bryan Mills is a retired agent of the CIA. His 17-year old daughter Kim wants to go on a trip to Paris with her friend, Amanda, but he refuses. After a few days of thinking, he decides to let her go, but as soon as she sets foot in France, a few men of the European mob decide to kidnap them for women traffic, Mills goes to Paris with one mission in mind: Finding his daughter. Liam Neeson was fantastic in this movie and did a terrific job, and the visual effects were pretty good also. I will probably buy this movie as soon as it is released on DVD.
So, Taken is a good movie to watch. It's a refreshing thriller and will make the wait for Watchmen, or even X-Men origins, Transformers 2 and Terminator 4 seem a lot shorter!
