Conflicted about Taken

Rating: 6/10 (21 October 2010)

I liked Taken a lot. It was full of suspense, it was an intense thriller, the action kept me excited and on the edge of my seat BUT I have a few issues with this film.
Though it was exciting and a great action thriller, I don't like it that the film took something as serious as sex trafficking as an action movie. It is a serious issue going on in the world right now and it is not to be taken lightly. It would be different if it was made to make people aware of the growing problem but it wasn't. It was clear that it was only made for entertainment purposes. It is a sensitive, serious topic that should not be taken lightly and it most certainly should not be the subject for a blockbuster action film.
