Prepare to be "TAKEN"

In my opinion, one of the best thrillers I'd seen in a long time.

Quick Info -
Movie - Taken
Genre - Action/Drama/Thriller
Rated - PG-13
Staring - Liam Neeson & Maggie Grace
Movie I'd like to see??? Already did =)

"Taken" is the new movie from 20th Century Fox that made its nation-wide release this past weekend. Originally, it was supposed to come out last September, but the date was pushed to January 30, 2009. The film is about an ex-CIA "Preventer" (Liam Neeson) whose mission now is to get back his kidnapped daughter (Maggie Grace).The movie is full of action and drama - fast cars, countless murders, guns, punches, kidnapped daughters, and an angry father.

I actually saw this one, guys. =P And it was AMAZING. I saw the trailer for it once on TV three days ago and then saw it with some friends yesterday. I don't recall seeing any other movies starring Liam Neeson, but all I have to say is that he was magnificent in this movie. The stunt work and action scenes (which were like 80% of the movie) were awesome and I never got bored with this movie. I liked that the movie took place mostly in Paris and there were some points in it that were unusual and thought provoking. I do have to mention however, there were a couple parts that were somewhat disturbing and I wouldn't recommend this movie for any kids who aren't at least in middle school.

The movie seemed long with all the action, but is actually only a bit over 90 min long. I liked that the movie kept your attention the whole time and that the content that made it mature (PG-13) the most were the action/fighting scenes, not so much language/sexual content. It was a pretty clean movie for the plot of it and it's definintely a movie I recommend for someone looking for a good thriller to go see. SO GO SEE "TAKEN", IT WAS GREAT.
