What an action film should be

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2019)

There are a few movies that I watch whenever they're available, over and over again. Taken is one of them. There are numerous reasons. One thing that stands out is that unlike most films of this genera there's no long-winded soliloquies by the protagonist. When he has to shoot, as Tuco said in The Good, The Bad abd The Ugly, "if you're going to shoot, then shoot! Don't talk, shoot!" A fast paced, we'll written, well directed screenplay. Unlike the Jason Bourne series of films which were all fun to watch, the sequels unfortunately weren't as fresh and dynamic as this was.
