Taken: The Movie Where Liam Neeson Kicks People

Coming half an hour late will also allow you to skip the early "meet the family" scenes which are as phony and forced as any Fox TV show with girls who look well into their 20s skipping around and saying things like, "Daddy!". The movie is also vaguely racist - you know...nice, innocent, wealthy, good-natured white folk, and screaming, yimmy-yammering, evil Middle Easterners.

Poor Liam Neesom if this is all he's offered these days.

Bauhaus - Not trying to be "that guy" but I think Albania is European country, not middle eastern.

If ever there was a film written by focus group, this one is it. It's specifically built to tap into the fears and fantasies of divorced fathers, the kids that wish they had shown up for baseball games, and folks that think that being 'merican, makes them innately superior to the rest of the people on Earth.

Neeson kicks ass convincingly. Despite how annoying her character was, I thought Maggie Grace took on the mannerisms of an awkward teen flawlessly despite that probably the only reason she was hired was for her extremely leggy and booby mid-twenties body for her obligatory underwear scene.

If you are a divorced dad that worked too much or a former kid with an absent father, and are easily manipulated, this is the film might be cathartic for you despite the fact that it’s a terrible movie. I watched this movie for free, and I still feel robbed.

Liam Kicks ass in this flick, a lot of ass, and he does it well. anything else going on in this flick is completely pointless nonsense detracting from the ass kicking. Had they deleted all the other stuff and just shown us 1.5 hours of ass whoopin goodness I could recommend this movie, sadly they didnt so I cant

Yeah the family parts were a little "fake" for me,. bt the ass kicking and the way he goes about getting his info clearly makes up for the rest of the movie, just wish they would hav put some more ass kicking in there.

How abou a part 2? Have him take his team back to europe and locate the other 2 girls that were on that boat with his daughter. I still think he and his team or the best team of killers for there age.

Please wait...
