Action: Taken- 2008


A retired government agent, whose job title was "preventer", reluctantly allows his daughter to go to Paris only to have her be randomly chosen by a sex-slave ring "scouter", and kidnapped. This, of course, leaves him with only ONE choice: Find his daughter and kill EVERYONE in his path!


Grade: B-


Ok, ok,..... This movie DEFINITELY had it's "edge-of-your-seat" moments, and was certainly a fun watch,.... buuuuuuut,.... it was pretty cliche and pretty predictable. I DO have to say that I enjoyed Liam Neeson in this role, and thought he was pretty bad-ass, I enjoyed the immense amount of neck karate chops, and pistol whipping that went on, I can say I got my fill! Was ALL of the acting great? I wouldn't say there were Oscar worthy performances in it, but it was fun to watch, and pretty entertaining!
