Another cookbook movie

Rating: 2/10 (10 May 2015)

A movie that should have been direct to DVD or Netflix. How many revenge/kidnap movies are there? I'd guess over 500? Hyper-scared kidnapped teenage daughter and friend, in Paris alone, poker-faced dad, ex-CIA, divorced from mom...pick characteristics from the "how to make a movie" plot list. Push the "go" button and, Bob's your uncle, you got a new movie. I have no idea what happened at the end. Guess: shoot up, karate kicks, lots of female screaming, "love you dad's", grateful ex-wife, and, if we are lucky, dad falls into an open manhole and dies. But, wait! There are two more of these "Taken" movies, so dad did not really die, he just fell down a manhole and landed softly on a rat's nest! Yeaa! Who watches movies like this and feels fulfilled at the end? Whoever they are should never have children...too dumb. I want my $2.99 back. Why can't I learn to avoid such slop? I guess I'm too dumb.
