Get the Girl, Kill the Baddies

Rating: 6/10 (23 March 2011)

I wouldn't want to be an Albanian in Paris after this movie!! I found The failure of this films dialogue to distinguish between 'Albanian' and the rellepent sex traffickers, who have taken the Nesson's ex-special ops character's daughter (who looks nowhere near 17), irresponsible at best; especially with it's vigilante storyline. Imagine if there was a film where 'Americans' was constantly used to refer to pedophiles?? Kazakhstan got off lightly with Borat!
Otherwise it's a simple, adrenaline fueled/ing throat punching, bottle brandishing rampage. Neeson's accent is pretty ropey but paradoxically he preforms well as the likable yet lethal Dad, lending weight and unexpected muscle to this dark revenge romp. The two (better) films which Taken kidnaps are the brooding "Eastern Promises" and the fantastic Paris set "Tell No One"...from which Taken's first half hour of paced drama is borrowed from; before the real fun begins.
