ICONIC AF!

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2020)

The most iconic revenge story. I think everyone has seen the famous voicemail scene from Taken and thought "wow, this must be iconic", well this movie pretty much is. As simple as a teenage girl getting kidnapped and her skillfull former agent father seeks for her freedom and revenge on the people who took her. This movie excells in so many levels, Liam Neeson is so badass in every scene that even the viewer gets intimidated, the plot is simple yet good enough to keep you focused, action is pretty nice and deserves the recognition and the whole movie is a perfect example of how a simple revenge story can get so iconic. Neeson's performance is clearly one to remember, badasss, emotional, intimidating and fearless, he gets more and more badass everytime he appears on screen. My only one issue that appears due to my personal taste, I really don't like the shakey cam, it's not the main way of shooting the fight scenes but it's sometimes pretty annoying to be honest. A movie you really have to watch, and an experience everyone deserves to have.
