Taken




Film: Taken
Year: 2008
Time: 93min
Rating: 7.9/10



This film was written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, and in just one week, grossed a whopping $ 24.7 million. According to the producers, Taken cost $ 30 million.



Irish actor Liam Neeson is the main thing in this movie. He is Bryan Mills in the film and is a man who worked for several years for the government. Now retired, he decides to bring her daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) fruit of the relationship with his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen). Getting slowly closer to her daughter this starts to become a problem when your daughter asks you to travel to Paris with a friend. Bryan gives even thwarted and ultimately see their fears become a reality when Kim is kidnapped by a dangerous group of Albanians specialized in trafficking in women. Of course, his father will try to rescue her throughout the entire film following tracks and runways. I will not tell the rest of the film because it would lose the whole joke.



The action scenes fulfill its function. There are several chases and shootouts that fill the screen and violence that convey a sense of adrenaline to the public. The clichés abound in these scenes too, is loaded with villains through the stereotypes that have bad aim or by highly trained hero who is rarely injured. In short, these action scenes work but only with true fans of the genre.

Personal comment:

Despite being a predictable movie is a good action movie. The story of the movie is quite good. Daria 7/10 for this movie and I am being too benevolent. Liam Neeson has a satisfactory and convincing, but the remaining cast has a weak secondary job and without much relief to the film. "Taken" is a work full of exaggerations and violence that is sure to please lovers of action movies, however, the remaining audience may find this book too unrealistic and nonsensical.
