Great Movie...Even greater because of the timing of Release..

Rating: 9/10 (17 March 2009)

Taken is a great movie, which will always be remembered as a blockbuster and a powerhouse performance by Liam Neeson.But there is one point that I recognize, after few years if someone saw this movie,its greatness will not be realized as it is today as the timing of release of this movie makes it a much much better treat to watch.From last few months, we have been deprived of true action packed thriller like Bourne Series or Mission Impossible Series.All we got were Superhero movies or Romantic movies, the release of TAKEN among those Genre makes it much more different movie.I have seen tons of action movies but due to the gap, I was much more entertained as ever.It looked something different although it wasn't.Hats off for the studio at brilliant decision of release date months later after it was released in Europe.
On its own as well,Taken introduces us with another angle and dimension of the great Liam Neeson.The action is A+, but it becomes better with emotions of Father-Daughter love conveyed by Neeson.If you are fan of Action/Thrillers, don't miss this movie, it fills the tank of our appetite for an action movie.Its worth watching in theater and even better to watch at home with family and snacks.
