Taken (2008)

Taken (UR) - DVD Review

"White Dad Blues"

Liam Neeson (SW Episode I) is launched as an action star in this Luc Besson produced thriller.  Former CIA agent Liam is tracking down and methodically murdering those who have kidnapped his daughter for the white slave trade in Europe.  Fatalistic and plays to the paternal instincts, the movie succeeds more than not and is a sure crowd pleaser.  Not much socially for me to relate to, however the unrealistic espionage, the snarling dialogue and the nasty violence kept me appeased.
