Excellent Film - Better than you could expect. - Taken review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
21/02/2009

These reviews do not do justice to a superb and intelligent thriller by a director whose time has now arrived (Pierre Morel).

This is a well crafted story. At 87 minutes it doesn't keep you longer than necessary. It is exciting yet at the same time intelligent. I highly recommend it.

Great movie - Taken review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
01/02/2009

This film has the speed and impact of the Jason Bourne films - if you liked them my guess is you'll like this too because the same kind of energy and cloak and dagger exists here and set around a x - 'preventer' whose daughter goes missing in Paris - grabbed by some Albanian underworld criminals. One for all the 15+ family.

The only thing i'll take issue with is Liams hair colour - grecian 2000 gome very wrong. Joking aside a very watchable enjoyable and can't take your eyes off the screen kind of film.

Far from great - Taken review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
19/02/2009

I have to disagree. This is nothing more than a poorly finished B-movie/video nasty with only the presence of Liam Neeson confusing matters. While he brings a real intense physicality to the role, the fact that he systematically butchers his way through the local ethnic population leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Despite the character's background, he shows no respect for life or the law and nothing will stop him rescuing his daughter from a terrible fate. The strong desire of a father to protect his offspring is understandable to us all, but not twisted to this extent. And if you do watch the film then just ask yourself, who is driving the boat?
