"The Father of the Bourne Trilogy"

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2011)

When I completed the Bourne series with its final venture "The Bourne Ultimatum", I felt it was one of the most riotous ride of my whole life and then there was Pierre Morel's "Taken" which just made me fly. Bryan Mills made Jason Bourne look like a kid. A profligate piece of movie with gruesome action sequences which is powerful enough to drive anybody right from the edge of his seat right into the screen.
Bryan is an ex-CIA whose daughter gets kidnapped in Paris. He gets to know from his resources that he has only 96 hours before his daughter disappears completely. The only thing he relies on are his extraordinary combating skills and his inner belief that he will see his daughter again. Soon after his arrival in Paris, he resorts to involution and implacability in the process of locating his daughter.
An iniquitous action flick with brilliant camera-work and superb fight choreography. An action-thriller does not get better than this. A must watch for every movie goer who loves action mechanism.
You will surely forget about Bond after watching this.
