Luke, Pierre And Liam: What a fortunate team!

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2009)

The incredible invincible Liam! enters and do away everyone standing in his path of saving his beloved daughter.
Noticing the writer of the movie, no one could hesitate about watching a well-made action that amuses you during the whole movie-time. Writer of famous works like The Professional, Nikita,Taxi, and more-recent films like Transporter series and B13, has gained some fame for himself as an thriller-making writer and director. With this information, I was sure I would not regret spending time for his newly-made movie "the Taken" which is directed by Pierre Morel, the man behind "B13" which was a fascinating french movie of 2004. Like B13, Taken has a fast rhythm which has helped its director to show lots of actions and beating up and chasing scenes and as I expected, he's done it absolutely right. Morel knows the principles of an action movie that holds the audience spellbound during the movie time. Unlike B13, here we are facing with a superstar who clearly knows what he's doing. Liam Neeson has done a wonderful job as a father of a 17 years old girl. One that despite being separated from his family, loves his daughter very much and would do everything he could do for her best. The relation between father and his child is quite believable and turns up as one of the brightest aspects of the film. This helps the whole Brian's devoting thing to the end of the movies very rational. I suppose if it was a drama movie, It could bring tears to audience's eyes because of the right chemistry of characters and the whole acting things! To sum up, I enjoyed this movie a lot because of its strong screenplay and also the actors acting and above of all, the directing of this movie.
