Worst movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (12 July 2019)

I don't normally watch action movies. But because the ratings for Taken were so good and the film is kind of part of the pop culture I decided to give it a try. How bad can it be? Turns out it can be very very bad.
The hero, Liam Neeson, is a retired spy or something like that. He has seen a lot of bad stuff in his career and knows that the earth is a dangerous place. You can get killed every minute if you don't watch out. This is proven in the beginning of the movie when he accepts the job of a bodyguard for a popular singer. Of course there is an attacker at the concert which he casually knocks out. It gives the impresson that popular people are attacked on virtually every occasion, nothing special.
When his daughter wants to go to Paris, he is of course not excited about it. And of course she is kidnapped as soon as she arrives in Paris. And there is no backstory to the kidnapping! Just regular East-Europeans who kidnap Tourist which they find at the airport. I mean that happens all the time, right? The 17 years old daughter is particulary dumb. She behaves like an 8 year old, always running around and screaming.
I find it still surprising how such dumb, brutal crap is considered a good movie. It appeals to the most primitve feelings like revenge and sadism. The main actor is simply invincible and better and stronger than anybody else. Like a superman fantasy of a little kid.
Sorry for the not so well written and one-sided review. I created an account at imdb just write this review because I was so angry how bad this movie was. And english is not my first language.
