Taken

I don’t know who you are. But if you don’t let my daughter go, I will find you. I will kill you.

I’ve seen Taken months ago but since it is been shown in theatres just now, I want to post my review about the movie. The story is a revenge movie of a father whose daughter was kidnapped by a woman trafficking gang on her trip to Paris. Liam Neeson played as Bryan Mills who is an ex-government agent who retired in California to live close to his daughter. Mills wants to make up to his daughter for the lost time when he was away for his job and left her daughter to his ex-wife (Famke Janssen). When he knew that his daughter was taken by goons in Paris, he immediately fly and look for the criminals in order to save his daughter.

I had doubts that Taken would be a worthy movie to watch when I read the cast especially with the leading actor that didn’t even ring a bell to me. Taken is a kind of movie that is predictable or you already know what will happen at the end but you still want to go along with the ride. It’s like a James Bond movie that is fully-packed with action, car-chasing and gun-toting. You will really admire the love and how a father cares for his daughter. He can even risk his life and even his profession to catch the culprit and save his daughter. It’s my first movie to see Neeson but I’m really impressed and it made me look for his past movies. The movie really proves that older man for an action movie is not bad after all. So if you love action and ass-kicking movies, I recommend Taken.
