I would sacrifice anything for her.

Taken delivers the goods that Action fans crave. It's really as simple as that. The film features everything, and more, that lesser, "play-it-safe" Action pictures like the Transporter films seem afraid of. While not a groundbreaking film by any means, Taken hearkens back to the glory days of the Action picture when movies like Die Hard and Commando took a no-holds-barred approach and wholly embraced the genre, the only difference with Taken being its slicker, more modern veneer. Despite the film's ending never really being in question or the fact that plenty of convenient plot contrivances and conveniences aid Bryan's (Liam Neeson, Batman Begins) quest to find his kidnapped daughter Kim (Maggie Grace, "Lost"), the film's relentless, uncompromising action, raw emotion, rapid-fire pace, and singular focus drive Taken to heights the Action genre rarely ascends to in the 21st century.

Awesome, I really hope it is the extended harder cut that Europe got.

I have never seen the US version of it but own the UK, and to my understanding the difference amounts to about three minutes or so.

That's the only way I will buy it.

I liked this movie even in the US version, I'll get it either way.

Great flick that doesn't pretend to be anything than what it is, a straight up kick ass action movie. Who knew Liam Neeson, AKA Qui-Gon AKA Ras Al Ghul, could be such a draw on his own.

LOVED this movie. Cant freaking wait to see it on bluray.

jimmy the comic · 02-15-2009, 10:22 PM

I thought this was awesome. Would be a fun double feature with Man On Fire.

twilightfan · 02-16-2009, 12:24 AM

This was a great movie and will be a definite buy for me-if you haven't seen it do yourself a favor -its one of the few movies in theaters right now that is actually good.
