Alas, Liam Neeson kicks ass.

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2009)

Liam Neeson kicks major ass in the fantastic action flick Taken. Taken was the first film I saw in 2009. It's the only film that i've bought somewhere other than Movie Gallery or Blockbuster. I bought it when it first came to DVD. Taken is a very awesome crowd pleaser that's far from disappointing.Taken is one of the best films of 2009 so far. The best is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. But Taken isn't far from there. The Plot: Retired C.I.A. agent Bryan Mills comes out of retirement to save his daughter in Paris. She was kidnapped by sex traffickers, who take young teens, drug them, and turn them into prostitutes. Bryan will stop at nothing to find and kill these men. Taken is from writer Luc Besson, who wrote films like The Fifth Element, Some of The Transporter, and the passable Taxi. Taken is probably his best work yet. Taken is filled with spectacular action sequences, and dozens of plausible moments. Liam Neeson kicks many asses and I just cheer every time. I also think it's funny because the pricks who kidnapped his daughter deserve an ass whooping. The film is nothing but entertainment, and I loved Taken.
