A real edge seater

Rating: 8/10 (20 August 2009)

Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) is a man, who tries to reconnect with his daughter after spending most of her youth somewhere else than home. He's a bit overprotective, as he claims he's seen the world as it is and he gets more nervous, when he learns, that his daughter is leaving in France together with another young girl. And then his worst nightmares come true, when his daughter is kidnapped. But the reason, why Bryan was so much else where than home is, that he is a former, top notch agent, who won't stop until he gets his daughter back.
At a first glance, you can say, that Taken is a cliché. And it is, but there's no shame in that, when it's so damned well made one. Despite I knew what was going to happen, I still managed to be thrilled and exited. I literally was sitting on the edge of my seat for the last half an hour.
Good director, well casted and solid piece of action. All in all, well spent hour and a half.
