"This has to be the movie have seen in ages"
Action packed from beginning to end, had me sitting on the edge of seat throughout movie and a great performance by Liam Neeson, can wait for Taken 2, and at awesome price, thanks Mighty Ape.
"Awesome movie that had me chewing my fingernails."
Awesome Movie! Had me chewing my fingernails. A bit daunting if you have family heading overseas but is a good idea of what could happen if we are not very careful, especially when we come from a very trusting country.

Description
Liam Neeson is an unstoppable force in this adrenaline-fueled thriller from director Pierre Morel. Bryan (Neeson) has taken early retirement from the CIA in order to live closer to his teenage daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace). Bryan's government work kept him away from Kim for much of her childhood, and he's now trying to make up for lost time.
When Kim announces that she's taking a trip to Paris with her friend Amanda (Katie Cassidy), Bryan is apprehensive about her traveling on her own. His worst fear is soon realized, as Kim and Amanda are abducted upon their arrival in France. Bryan immediately springs into action, using his well-honed CIA skills to piece together clues from a single, frantic phone call he received from Kim. He hops a plane to Paris, determined to rescue his daughter before she falls off the grid completely.
With some help from his old CIA buddies, he tracks down the kidnappers--an Albanian crime ring known for selling young girls into the sex trade. He quickly takes matters into his own hands, plowing his way through Paris's underworld as the clock ticks down and the bullets fly. His search propels him into the upper echelons of a massive crime ring, putting him closer and closer to his beloved daughter. Neeson is known for tackling extremely cerebral roles, so it is interesting to see him in full-on action-hero mode.
In TAKEN he is no less than a crime-fighting machine--a Bourne/Bond hybrid with a deathly serious baritone. And while he spends most of the film firing Uzis and snapping necks, he still manages to deliver a moving performance as an estranged father fighting for what he loves most in the world.

This movie had my heart racing after about 10mins, and kept it racing for the rest of the movie. The background story was really interesting, and showed how very dark ther world of forced prostitution is in some parts of the world. And Liam Neeson portrays his character very well, showing little regard for rules in the pursuit for his goal. He showed up Matt Damon as Bourne with how ruthless he needed to be to get the job done. This movie I think is more intense than any of the Bourne or Bond movies. Only issue is I now want more!
