Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2009)

There is a very serious crime most prevalent in Europe, which is daily spreading across the globe. The crime is Human trafficking and it's tragic results can be seen on the evening news. Police often uncover the remains of missing victims, days, months and often years later. It is estimated that 10,000 victims are listed as missing, kidnapped or murdered every year and includes beautiful women, ignorant young girls and underage boys. That is the basis for this film called " Taken! " After retiring from the C.I.A. Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) is government spy learns his precious daughter, now 17, has been kidnapped and is on her way to being sold to wealthy sex merchants. Told he has 96 hours to find her, Mills put's his expertise to work and promises his adversaries he will learn who they are and eliminate them all. His many hindrances include his ex-wife and her new but rich husband. Vowing to find and retrieve his daughter, Mills will leave no stone unturned or friendship undisturbed including his old French Police friend Stuart (Xander Berkeley). Neeson is in find form and artistic element as he gives the surreal impression nothing will stop him until he succeeds. Love for his daughter, morphs the aging spy into a fanatical lunatic, turned juggernaut. High speed chases and plenty of energetic physical action are the essence of this highly charged movie. Recommended for all Neeson fans. ****
