Liam Neeson......your the man

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2009)

Well, it was a boring evening until I decided to run down the local Video store to rent out a DVD. Holy Maria. Liam Neeson is a great actor, but who would have thought he is a cold hearted, martial arts, street smart action hero (and loving father). Yes there are many stereotypes in this story (I will not go into it as it has already been discussed) but this is a movie.....hello.....movie everybody. I enjoyed every minute of it for a very simple reason. All this movie wanted to be was a simple and good action movie.....mission accomplished. It is fast paced, nobody is trying to make you feel sorry for their actions and at the end I was jumping on my couch (just like Tom) when he finished the bad guy at the end. Nowadays we do get too many thrillers and action movies that want to save the world, and the whales, and somehow go off track. TAKEN never swayed of the track for one tiny millimeter and I would go as far as calling this the best action movie in the last 5 years. Jason Bourne......you have been served.
