Amazing film

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2008)

Came across this film by chance. was looking for a film to pass a couple of hours and Taken didn't let me down. Although you wonder for the first 15 minutes where the films going, your suddenly thrown into the action.
I was originally sceptical about the film as it opened in much the same way as most American films start (you know, the "American hero saves the day yet again" type film).
Several times throughout the film It becomes difficult to watch as the subject mater, although dealt with sympathetically, can be hard to think about. When Kim sees her dad at the end of her ordeal And says "You came for me" I admit I was close to tears. Its very seldom that a film can move me in that way!
Overall I gave it 9/10. Would be 10/10 but Im leaving scope in case I find a better film than this. doubt I will though!
