Taken reviews

Fans of Liam Neeson will know that he has made action movies i the past, however you wouldn't expect quite what this film delivers. By and large the plot if reasonably standard. Neeson plays a retired special ops commando type, who's now peacful life if shattered by the abduction of his daughter and her friend whilst on an overseas trip. The usual tracking down and retribution takes place but in this movie it's very cleverly portrayed as Neeson uses not only his skills and contacts to track down the abductors but the manner in which he extracts revenge is unusual and will leave you flinching in parts. If you like a good fast paced actioner with clever use of violence in a modern context then this is a must have. Don't expect an in depth and complex story, just a hell of a good ride. Neeson is living proof that men in their 50's can definately cut the mustard when it come to action.

My friend told me that this movie wasn't that good – how wrong was she! I loved this movie. It wasn't your average boy saves girl that he loves from the bad guy – there are so many hold ups along the way, and this was all in the name of father daughter love. I would highly recommend this. It is action packed, in parts like James Bond, but most of the time Unique and Exciting.

Plays well.

Seen it twice now and will definitely watch again. Really cool.

Top film, even though more of a ‘man movie’, my wife loved it. There are more twists & turns than the Nurburgring has.

A excellent movie filled with action and a message for all would be travelers about the safety required and the need to be a not so friendly tourist in a far off country

Liam Neeson plays a former spy with special skills. A take no prisoners, action packed thriller. For those who like Bond or Bourne. Dare you watch it.
