One of the best

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2008)

Taken is possibly the best action movie I've seen this year, putting away the Batman's, Iron Mans, etc. etc., This is old school action and well worth it. Not as over the top as Bourne (which is still excellent), Neeson plays a character with the controlled rage that only someone highly trained can use properly. All of his fight scenes are well laid out for style when you consider the man is well over 6 feet tall, his moves are lethal using hand chops to his opponents throats in order to end the fight quickly, just like a true fighter would. I have nothing negative to say about this movie except its unfortunate that it wont see the publicity is deserves, nor will there likely be a sequel. Still I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
