Review of Taken

Taken (I) (2008)
10/10
Entertaining from beginning to end
5 February 2011
I must say that I'm usually not very much into action movies, and movies where there's too much shooting and violence involved. And yet I thoroughly enjoyed this one, even though it's packed with shooting scenes.

Liam Neeson is the best cast I could imagine for this film (apart from Harrison Ford, I suppose), and he's done a brilliant job.

One knows, of course, what ending can be expected, but it's the journey that counts. And what a journey it is! If you want to be captured by 90 minutes of entertaining and unrelentless action against the backdrop of Paris, this is the movie to watch.

In parts it was reminiscent of a Bond movie or the "Spooks" series, but then hey, the main character is an ex spy after all, so you would expect him to know all the tricks of the trade, and carry them out "in style".

Loved it!
