Neeson teaches a lesson to Bond.

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2008)

Is it really that fast? Oh yes. At an astonishing level, 'Taken' achieves to manage a very quick rhythm with no dead-moments. Liam Neeson is perfect to the job, and gives this year's James Bond a knockout.
Pierre Morel's directing exploits the simplicity of the plot and creates a paced level to the movie's environment. The movie is always focused on the film's quick ambient and action, rejecting the few calm moments existing.
Liam Neeson is THE man. The action starts when Bryan's daughter is kidnapped, and then what we have is a roller coasting ride. Liam Neeson accomplishes what's expected of him and just kicks-ass, by dismantling all the human-trafficking organization in France in only a few days (or for us 93 minutes, which gives an even faster sensation).
If you are in for adrenaline, then this is the right movie for you. If you want to see Liam Neeson in a bad-ass character, then this is also a movie for you.'Taken' is one of the best action movies 2008 has to offer and probably one of the best of the genre in years. Action lovers, you'll love this - 8/10.
