Taken

I went to see the movie “Taken” with Liam Neeson this weekend. I wanted to see this movie after viewing the commercial when his daughter gets dragged out from under the bed while talking to her father on her call phone. I had no idea what the movie was about, but that was one effective trailer.

I was quite enthralled in this film from beginning to end and Mr. Neeson’s performance was intense. The film deals with the sex slave trade and a father’s search to find his daughter who was kidnapped in Paris. I will not go into a full synopsis of the film as you can read it here.

If you want to break away from your life and enjoy an action packed film, you must see this film (but then again I am a big “Die Hard” fan. I always read how people find fault in films and say there aren’t believable. Aren’t films supposed to be an escape? If a film can keep my interest and not make me think, then I am happy. This film has surprise moments, moments you want to cheer (yes, a few people in the theater clapped) and, of course, those emotional moments.

I liked it and wanted to share.
