![]() ![]() ![]() Kim calls her dad and while she is talking with Brian, the kidnappers come and take Kim and her friend. Practically as soon as the girls arrive in Pari s, they are targeted by Albanian kidnappers who take young women for the sex trade. Brian is pissed, but can't do anything about it. When they arrive at the airport, he finds out that she and her friend plan to follow the rock group U2 across their European tour. He reluctantly gives permission with several conditions which are accepted. He doesn't want her to go because he knows how dangerous it is, but her mother pushes him and he is caught in the middle. She asks to meet him for lunch, and when he arrives, she hits him with a request for permission to go to Paris with her friend. Brian still thinks about her as a child and is having some problem adjusting. Kim is a very precocious seventeen year old. ![]() His marriage ended and he has made the commitment not to lose his daughter too. All I can say is that you will still be taken by Liam Neeson! Read full reviewīrian is a retired CIA operative. You just need to have passable script, good, young director, be European and have good actor in main role. That is the magic of this movie cause Besson didn't present anything new. The film takes many turns and even goes on the verge of moral ambiguity but Neeson's charisma pulls the film through even its more preposterous segments.Īnd yes, you know that he's going to save everyone but then again Seagal also saves everyone but 95% of his movies are sort of dense. ![]() It doesn't present nothing new, but the way the whole movie was filmed, with amazing action scene s (some of them brutal like electricity torture) and great actor in main role, you gotta' be satisfied with final outcome. Following path of revenge Besson takes us on a ride that is full of action and the whole story is told in beautiful simplicity. I could go on and on talking about Neeson but I want to say a few things about this movie. The film's plot is simple but has enough twists and texture to make it into a fulfilling experience. Liam Neeson outshines Arnold with a witty and far more sympathetic and charismatic character portrayal. While watching "Taken" I was reminded of several other "Lost Child" films and surprisingly the one which first came to mind was Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Commando." Specifically this movie is what that movie should have been like. ![]()
