i don't think i have enjoyed watching an action film so much since the days of arnold. taken for the most part is freakin funny! old timer neeson shows these young twat action stars of the moment (ie statham) how to give a beat down with a bit of class. i always have my eye on action films produced by luc besson, usually set in france you know your going to get atleast a few cool action scenes for your buck. yes the first 20 minutes in taken is cringe inducingly bad and at times the film felt like a bourne movie and pretty much everything that wasn't action or neeson making bas ass threats was lame BUT aside from these minor issues taken is a blast!

i have watched this flick twice and i plan on checking it out later with the yo's on a couple joints so i can again laugh my ass off. it's my guilty pleasure for the year, beating babylon ad to the title and a breath of fresh air for someone like myself who constantly complains about the state of the action genre since arnie became the governator

(6 karate chops to the throat out of 10)

Bryan: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.


awesome! hahakhskjhs

anyone else enjoy taken?

I want to see Taken; I just saw the trailer for it in front of Body of Lies and thought it looked great.

Just saw this flick last week. Not a terribly well written film by any means, but Liam kicks all sorts of ass! He literally goes all "Jason Bourne" for 3/4ths of the movie, its sick. Definitely worth a watch....

6.5/10

yeah definitely for instance i doubt many 17 year old girls like u2 at all, especially not enough to follow them on a tour. if the cunt that is bono is boning 17 year old groupies then fair play i guess i stand corrected
the acting and direction is sub par, still neeson gives a beat down like no other

It was suprisingly good, but I felt an insatiable need to karate chop my friends after watching the movie. Mr. Neeson was handing out chops like a BBQ.

But yeah, not a bad flick, didnt think it would pull off but it did (7/10)

Yeah it was ok. Cheesy and fun with a high body count. Liam Neeson should join the UFC. Script was quite 80's. The 'I have skills' speech made me chuckle.
6/10
