    Taken

    Watched a pretty decent thriller last night on BD.

    Taken - with Liam Neeson.

    He plays a retired James Bond type CIA agent whose teenage daughter heads off to Paris with a friend for the Summer and gets herself kidnapped by an Eastern European sex traffic gang. Neeson heads of to find her.

    I have to say that the plot is a little contrived but if you can get past that, it's a ripper of an action movie with some fantastic fight scenes albeit very violent and graphic. Neeson was fantastic in the role and he has more movies like this in him for sure. I know he auditioned for Bond in GoldenEye and although Brosnan was excellent, given where Bond is now, they could have had it back then with Neeson. Horses for courses I suppose.

    Anyhow :T :T :T :T for Taken

    Wow, that's out already on BD in Ireland ? It's still in theaters here. I do look forward to seeing it when it finally is released here, which will probably be 3 or 4 months from now.

      Wow! It's almost always the other way around! It was a summer release here last year. Get it in your netflix queue!

        I really needed a movie like this. No complex plot, no clever twists, no surprise endings------just a clear cut, kick butt, action movie. Very refreshing!

        This movie is not long (93 minutes) and the first 20 or 30 are spent on introducing the players and character development. The...

        Taken 2... well
        by George Bellefontaine
        ... If you liked the first one, which I did, you will be a bit disappointed in the sequel. Liam Neeson still kicks a lot of butt, but the film suffers from a thin plot line. In 2, the father and relatives of the men he killed in number 1 are out to get him and... well there isn't much more to it. He...

        Bond's latest releases
        by Andrew Pratt
        I just picked up Bond's Classified and Remixed CD's late last week and so far I like them. The Remixed CD contains a number of fun tracks like #11 Bond on Bond which given the girls attractive looks conjurs up an interesting mental image :W

        Classified is their more mainstream release...though...
