He doesn’t know who you are… Really he doesn’t. This week in Liz’s Flick Picks, I will be talking about Taken. So relax, he won’t try to find you, unless you took his daughter away.
When his daughter and friend get kidnapped by a group of human trafficking smugglers, former CIA agent Bryan Mills will do anything to get his daughter back. Even if that means killing few guys and going all over France to find the group.
There is nonstop action throughout this film. From on foot to speeding cars shooting at each other, Taken does not disappoint in action. The car chases were nicely done through the streets of France. All the gunfights were well choreographed, and Liam Neeson dose not disappoint as an action star.
Taken had a lot of suspense. There are times where you think that he is going to find her, but instead he ends up getting shot at by angry thugs.
Taken is a nonstop thriller that has the audience out of their seats figuring out what is going to happen and rooting for the main character. Taken is a great movie and if you haven’t seen it, rent this movie. You won’t regret it.
