Oh shi-! I never got a chance to actually watch Taken, gonna have to now.

It's a good film, if you look past the stupidity of it and the offensive racial carachterisation (but then, I sat through From Paris With Love!).

What was the stupidity of it?

It's just escapist fantasy in the vein of From Paris With Love, only Neeson plays the Travoltra character.

Girls acting like idiots abroad, no sense whatsoever.
Bryan's unrealistic sugary fathering, giving up career and any sanity to be close to that horrible girl.
The slavers and their auction/smut show thing.
The way they couldn't even shoot him in the dirt lot...

Girls that age act stupid all the time. That's not unbelievable at all.

She was all he had left after years of neglecting his family for work and country, he wanted to be in her life.

You don't know how slavery auctions work, and hopefully the movie writers didn't either.

His badassness deflected their bullets.

Yeah, I've heard mixed reviews from friends about it, but that doesn't matter to me, I'm a Neeson fan. Stuff always keeps getting in the way of watchin' movies these days, but I do plan on catching this one before the sequel.

Looks like they're milking a dry cow.

I'll still give it a shot, since the first was good.

kinda thought the same, but it has Liam Neeson, so it should be worth a look.

also despite being almost 50, Famke's hot, definitely worth poking her starfish.

I originally disliked Taken when I first saw it, because his bastard daughter Kim Bau-....I mean Mills was such a dumbass that she borderline deserved everything that happened. I've come to enjoy it upon repeat viewings though

Looks pretty good. Just hope the director is worth a shit. With a name like "Megaton," he has to be pretty good, right?

From a realistic standpoint though. A girl in her position with her upbringing would probably have similar things happen if she were in the same position.

Look on the bright side, everybody. There's no way it can turn out as bad as Speed 2.

Good point, well made.

Looks excellent.. can't wait to go see

Ok-so obviously I can't grasp the entire plot from a 2 minute trailer.

But if the whole premise is revenge on Neeson for killing a bad guy's son...what's the point in kidnapping Neeson's wife & keeping her alive?

I'd either kill the wife outright & have the whole movie focussed on Neeson going ape-shit OR simply just focus on Neeson himself being hunted down.

You could argue him not knowing is worse because like in the 1st his imagination must have been working overtime, but I get what you're saying, it shouldn't have been a mirrored re-tread. I would have preferred your final scenario though, or even him doing some other covert mission for some shadowy people.

i like Siam neeson....Schindler list was a best movie....now Grey...Still he looks young in 60 age
