TAKEN

I was primed to hate this just because it had Liam Neeson in it after he said he retired. Not that I don't like Liam, he was awesome in Krull. Just that it annoys me when an actor or band (KISS) decided to hang it up then comes back again and again and again.

Well, it wasn't that no one else could have played this role, but still I have to say welcome back! (Oh and sorry about your wife.) This movie was the most kick ass thing I have seen in a while. It's been a while since I got this excited during an action thriller and by the end of it I was kind of looking at Quantom of Solace as a yawner I should have slept through.

Its about a man who quits the government to spend time with his seventeen year old daughter. Against his better judgement he allows her to go to Paris with a friend where she is promptly kidnapped by
Albanian white slavers. He goes to Paris with all his bad ass spy skills to find his daughter and bring her back.

Wow. I have no complaints about this. In fact just thinking about it makes me want to watch it again. This review can be summed up in two words Kick ASS!
