Movie Review – Taken

February 13, 2009 by Mike 

Plot:

The seventeen year-old Kim is the pride and joy of her father, the retired agent Bryan Mills that left the secret service to stay near Kim in California. Kim lives with her mother Lenore and her wealthy stepfather Stuart; she convinces the reluctant Bryan to sign an authorization to travel to Paris with her friend Amanda. When they arrive, they share a cab with the stranger Peter and Amanda tells to him that they are alone in Paris. When Bryan succeeds in contacting his daughter, she tells that criminals have just break in the spot and they are kidnapped by an Albanese gang of human trafficking. Bryan promises in the phone to kill the kidnapper of his daughter and immediately travels to Paris to find Kim and chase the criminals. 

Review: The previews gave this movie some potential, but I never expect Liam Neeson to be such a BMF.  This is an awesome flick after the first 25 minutes.  Retired Agent Bryan Mills makes Jack Bauer look like one of the Jonas Brothers. 

Rating on the Homer Simpson Scale: 9 thumbs up (must see)
