surprisingly good movie

Rating: 8/10 (15 July 2008)

IMDb is really good in telling a movie is crap, most comments on various movies will prove that. Now we come to this movie, Taken, for me, it's one of the best movies i've seen last year! I'ts got a good solid story, good cast and lot's of nicely captured action. Liam Neeson is not your average action hero but he does a great job being one.
Story in short; A girl goes to France and get's "taken" from her apartment while making a call with her dad who used to be a retired secret agent. He doesn't waste any time and goes after her in France.
The movie has no surprising plot turns and just goes on and on, which in this case is a good thing. Some scenes may be found shocking cos of violence and drug use/abuse. Personally i think a good balance has been found here and would like to rate it 8/10
