Taken

Just saw the movie in the sneak preview. First of all this movie will get a lot of those people who will whine about everything that is not realistic really (If you are one of those, you'll have a lot to whine about). But if you can just enjoy a movie as its intended to be and you appreciate some action this movie is near perfect. The main character is so pure and non complex. Finally an action movie that doesn't try to give some oddities to the characters to make them more interesting but just straightforward high speed action .

Watching this movie was a great experience and I was surprised that I could enjoy an action movie this much. My tip: sit down, enjoy the ride and don't moan about imperfections.

The most thrilling movie I've seen in a long time. Neeson is what we would fear if James Bond went to hell and came back for revenge (I doubt big budget Quantum of Solace will top this). I loved Jason Bourne; but where Bourne is confused for half the movie, Neeson is looking down a barrel of a pistol 3/4 of the time. In a three way spy battle, I would put Neeson edging out Bourne, who would be a step ahead of Bond.

Between the jaw-dropping action sequences was the subject matter of international trafficking, which was pretty miserable to watch. Although killing is wrong, death was never more satisfying to watch.

I saw this movie tonight at the sneak preview and I was completely surprised and blown away. I went to see this movie with no expectations. In the beginning it seems that it was going to be an easy to watch movie, but after a short time it turned into a high-speed action movie. I found the story original and so did my friends. At some times I found it hard to watch, because of the drug abuse and violence. To know that these practices still occur also gave me a horrible feeling. I was completely taken away by this movie. At some points it was very very quiet in the cinema, because of the excitement, you wonder what is going to happen next. Some moments in the story I found a bit not convincing, but the rest of the movie makes up to that. Liam Neeson in one of his best performances. It had good action, a good story, some humor. There are also some sensitive / sentimental scenes. There are no plot twists. It is just a story being told. This is one of those movies which stay in your memory for a while and let you think about bad things that happen. The movie that had that same effect on me was Traffic (2000). Personally I think this movie is underrated, but maybe this is because it is new. I would give it 8/10.

It was an interesting movie, I wish there wasn't a sequel.

Stripped of all Complexity this Major Box Office Hit is nothing more than a Great Way to Release some Pent -up Frustration, Classic-Catharsis, about Despicable Things that Continue to Go-On with Impunity around the World.

For those who maintain that this is Xenophobic and Racist, well it has to be Set Somewhere and the Villains have to be Somebody.

So Pick One. It really Doesn't Matter. There is No Argument that America is also Filled with such Evil and Nastiness that it Might have Taken Place in the Good olé USA.

These Things Matter Little in these Comic-Book Movies. Nothing seems Plausible or Realistic, hence Comic-Book Category, but it is so Much Fun Watching the really Bad Guys Get a really good Comeuppance.

There is some mediocre Acting, but this is for the Tired of it all People who are Sick of the Apathy and Talk and just want some good Old Fashioned Payback.

Justice...Revenge...Karma.

So Forget Deep Sociological Analysis. The Movie is a Vehicle to Continue a Thing that makes great Fiction.

Viva the Fictional Vigilante.
