Predictable yet thoroughly entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (3 October 2008)

Action packed thriller in which Liam Neeson plays an ex spy out for revenge on whoever has kidnapped his daughter.
I was quite impressed as I expected 'Taken' to be cheesy and repetitive but the acting and the fight scenes were all handled very stylishly.
The story was fast paced and although it was a bit predictable at times it was actually quite tense.
The characters were built up well so that you felt for them and cared about their fate.
Neeson gave an awesome performance both emotionally and physically - quite frankly he kicked butt!!
All round some great entertainment!
