AWESOME DARK & BRUTAL VIGILANTE ACTION THRILLER

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2020)

Well "Taken" was the film that turned ageing serious & excellent actor Liam Neeson into a tough quick fighting Action hero & hes great here as ex- special Agent one man killing machine Bryan Mills!!!
This kick-started an Action franchise for Neeson & totally revitalised his Career to a bigger Audience & now he's up there with the Action greats.
"TAKEN" is a very real to life horrific story about Sex-trafficking that goes on in the world all over but here this story is set in France.
The teenage daughter of "Bryan Mills" goes on vacation with her best friend to stay in France but almost immediately are captured & by evil Sex-trafficking scum & then that sets in motion a violent quest for Bryan Mills to hunt & kill those responsible.
Famke Janssen plays the ex-wife of Bryan Mills & mother to their teenage Girl played by Maggie Grace & the grizzled Neeson gives a fantastic angry & deadly performance as Bryan Mills & uses his skills to track & exterminate the vile scum who do this stuff & the action is brutal tense & gritty with Neeson even torturing some of the scum to get the answers he wants!!!
I loved Neeson here & wish there was guys like him really out there killing off the evil scum of the world as they all deserve to die in my opinion!!!
"TAKEN" is a tight & tense dark Action Thriller with an Awesome Neeson taking out the trash!!!
The film is fast paced & relentless but the very "Happy Ending" didn't work but all in all IT'S one exciting solid revenge Action Thriller
