He absolutely will take their lives

Rating: 5/10 (25 February 2011)

What do you expect from a movie claiming "They took his DAUGHTER. He'll take THEIR LIVES"?
Now weather you accept Liam Neeson as the harbinger of death is up to you. For me, he seems out of place, but I also need to say that he gives a particular touch to the movie which probably isn't too bad.
Otherwise Taken is an entertaining vengeance flick with a more realistic approach to martial arts (krav maga as far as I'm concerned) and some slightly unconventional features (Liam Neeson shooting an innocent woman in the kneecap would be a profound example) resulting a more original product then we're used to.
A good subject for renting I'd say. 5/10
