Taken

TakenLiam Neeson plays Bryan, an ex-government agent whose daughter is kidnapped in paris while he is talking to her on the phone.

This is pretty much your standard action film. The plot is pretty unbelievable, giving the impression that dodgy Albanians are lurking around kidnapping American women. The actress playing the daughter over plays her part and is pretty annoying but that said though, the action scenes are really good and it all looks fairly good.

Don’t part with your hard earned cash to see it on the big screen, get it on DVD. I would say this is a Tuesday night film, definitely not a Friday or Saturday night.

N.B This is definitely a case where the trailer makes the film seem a lot better than it is.
