Taken DVD

Taken: Liam Neeson stars in what amounts to be a glorified “B-Movie”. Liam plays an ex-spy whose 17 year old daughter gets “taken” while on her European vacation (yes, it is as simple as the one word title). He sets out for Paris to find her and to get his revenge against the bad guys who took her. Hand-to-hand combat is the choice for most of the action with the main character mowing down people like he is in the Nintendo game Kung Fu. It all happens too easy and too fast, thus never letting the viewer care about the outcome. If it was a lesser known actor in the lead this would have been a direct to DVD release. That said, even with Liam in the movie I still thought the acting was dreadful, especially by the girl playing his daughter (I would have let her be taken).
