whats so great about this movie?

Rating: 6/10 (19 February 2009)

There has been a lot of talk saying "Taken" is a heart pounding,adrenaline rushing, must see movie. There is nothing great about this movie. There was corny action scenes like when the main character does ten flips down a hill with a Jeep and drives off like nothing happened. The humor was OK, could have been more, and not the greatest acting and dialog. The plot of the movie was totally "Taken" away from another movie where people kidnap women who have just crossed the border, turn them into prostitutes and sell them to rich perves. The only thing they changed with the movie from the other was putting action scenes in it that weren't that great at all. The only reason I gave this movie a 5 was because I felt bad for the producers for wasting their time making this movie.
