Fairly good action/thriller

Rating: 9/10 (6 March 2009)

I saw Taken a few days ago.I heard it was good.While it is not as good as everyone says it is, it's still a fairly good action/thriller in the vein of Steven Seagal's films.There are a few similarities between this movie and Seagal's films(at least his older ones).The acting, especially from Liam Neeson is great.The plot involves a father who's daughter & friend have been kidnapped in Paris and forced into drugs/prostitution.The father is also an ex-CIA operative.He goes to Paris and basically looks for his daughter while battling corruption and just fighting and killing people.Taken may be a tad overrated, but it is a good action/thriller.
