Taken - Film Review

For a great thrill ride, be prepared to be "Taken" away this weekend. Yeah, I couldn't resist ;).

For a truly awesome film experience, I do highly recommend seeing the film taken this weekend! It’s, fun, exciting, highly enjoyable, and has everything you need for a great film viewing.

The film is basically that of a love a father has for his daughter. Liam Neeson is perfect as the father - he has us from the moment he first comes on screen. His desperation to gain back the love of his daughter is heartbreaking. This really is th heart of the whole film. And the story progresses when Kim (his daughter played by a very graceful Maggie Grace) decides to go off to Europe with her friend, but when she arrives, it’s not what she had planned, and instead becomes kidnapped and thrown into the dangerous world of trafficking. It is now, when her father must come and save her.

Liam Neeson really is perfect in this role. He is the true action hero of our time. he channels that of James Bond and even the Bourne films to come out with something even better and much more hardcore. And the best thing about this film, is that although it does have amazing fight sequences and stunts, but it also has that sense of art to it all. It’s an artistic action film that we all know Luc Besson knows how to deliver.

For a fun time at the movies, I more then highly recommend Taken. You’re sure to have a good time.

Happy viewing everyone! =)
