Near PERFECT!

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2009)

Taken is a very serious action movie involving fist fights, gun fights, car chases. I was very impressed by Liam Neeson's acting and especially his fighting-style, it's amazing how he can take down 10 opponents with his body. Famke Janssen was alright in this movie but I could see that she was just uncomfortable with her role. Man, when she cried I laughed.
The story is about this retired agent whose daughter gets kids kidnapped by men with a tenacity for trafficking women. The news shocks him to the bone but it's all a piece of cake for him. He only has to put his life on the line, who cares! Well anyway I enjoyed this movie for it's action and story. The only thing that I hated about this movie is the shortness of it. The movie was an hour and twenty-nine minutes but it seemed like thirty minutes. I guess I must have been enjoying it so much.
I plan to watch more movies by the director, Pierre Morel, and that just shows how much I really liked with this movie.
Story: 8.0 Acting: 6.9 Action: 9.0 Overall: 9.0
SPOILER!!!!!! Goofs: In one part his daughter says that the kidnapper has a beard but in the next scene she says he has a mustache.
