First-class Action with lots of heart!

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2009)

A previous comment was titled "Neeson is the vodka of James Bond's martini." Truer words could not be spoken. I can't think of any Bond film that was more satisfying, and I love Bond (the Connery originals).
Taken is a superb action film with substance. Every scene will keep you riveted to your seat. Some of the scenes are literally breathtaking. The screenplay was expertly written, beautifully filmed and superbly edited.
Lian Neeson is in usual top form and was a perfect choice. This is the same actor who gave us Schindler and Ethan Frome. I won't waste words on plot -- other comments have already made that clear.
The high votes for this very satisfying film are more than well-deserved. One of the best I've seen in a while. Not to be missed.
