Great, Except For One Inaccuracy

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2009)

"Taken" was a great blend of action and drama. The action scenes were not overly drawn out and silly, while the drama comes from the intense and very realistic aspect of "sex slaves." It contained a great mixture of believable characters and situations. The amount of violence, drug usage, and the reality that sex slave trade still exist may be too much for the average person to handle, but action movies are always better when there is truth and validity. I would recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates hard action with a serious plot. However, I would like to point out that there is one inaccuracy in the movie..there is no way that one man could kill that many Albanians. Albanians really are hardcore and really are deep in the underworld. All these movies that portray Albanians as criminals are not far-fetched nor are they cliché. It's just completely silly to believe that anyone could take out that many Albanians. Maybe if they were French or English I would believe it.
