Movie #433 "Taken" is a good, solid thriller. It's kind of a reverse "Eye of the Needle" in that it's the father, not the mother, who is fighting for his daughter ---- he would do anything to get her safe and back home. It's unusual to see Liam Neeson in such a James Bond type role (shooting, killing people masterfully, driving fast cars, etc.) and it suits him ---- and it shows that you can't dismiss someone who has been retired from a job he could do well --- that he still has it in him to make an effect on the world (in this case, the bad guys), so I recommend this action thriller. Never looked at my watch through it!
I gave it 4 stars
