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

Acting poor and above all lots of improbable sequences and heaps of nonsense actions. Don't waste your time with such a movie>
I am amazed at this crappie film and its writers. This is what I call the height of lazyness! They have a very good idea and cheap ass writing and production. All the situations could've been done way better. Enstead it looks like a bunch little kids made this film. The producers, Director and writers should be ashamed of themselves!
