Taken Heart

The film is OK. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't good.

A short way in Hollywood did it's propaganda bit with a long speech about White Privilege that added absolutely nothing to the film and felt really forced into the "natural conversation". But don't let that put you off completely.

It's watchable all the way through but it has a not-actually-strong-at-all female lead and it never reaches the point of being "good".

It definitely never reaches the point where it is fair adopt the "Taken" brand.

In this case the reference to 'Taken' in the title of the film obviously refers to the fact that the viewer has been taken for a ride. Plenty of ham acting, but little action and while the heroine does her best with the weak script, she was given little opportunity to demonstrate her competency. In fact, towards the end of the film when some action finally hits the screen, she constantly gets caught and her firearm is easily and regularly confiscated by an unconvincing rogue. The latter comes to an unlikely end at the hands of said heroine.

This has nothing to do with the movies Taken. My advise is skip this movie.

Unfortunately the film is pretty bad. Potential for an excellent story but stilted acting and certainly doesn't need to have a guidance warning

Do not waste any time on this movie. Probably the WORST movie I have ever watched. Terrible script, awful score and execrable acting. Definitely one to avoid.
