Vous n'aurez pas ma fille!

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.

Yes another copy cat "Taken film" but with a girl. Slow boring and predictable script. The acting was stunted and the timing was off to say the least. So many holes it was unbelievable such as when the girl was sedated completely out of it one minute, the next thing she's running for the boat. Quick recovery! A extremely soppy end that was not necessary but just one more reason not to watch the film

Canadian actress Gina Holden is both gorgeous and game, but neither quality will suffice to save this sodden, dull, misfit of a film.

From a production company that almost single-handedly manages to commoditize B-movies as if they came off a conveyor belt (Jeepers Creepers 3, Nightmare Nurse) we have something which, once upon a time, scrawled on a napkin in the back of a bar, must have seemed really clever.

"Let's do a version of Taken with a female lead!" someone said, then someone else agreed, then a third person raised the cash ... and here we are.

The best sequence is the first 4 minutes, which does a pretty good job of establishing Holden's character as a tough female cop who is not afraid of violence.

Would that we could say the same about the screenwriters, because, after that solid opening, the film chugs along for almost a full hour before we see even a hint of action; and when we finally do, it is too little, too late.

Recommended? No, thank you.

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.
