Monday Movie Review - TAKEN

TAKEN with Liam Nisson.............This movie takes about 10 or 15 minutes to set up the story and then hang on to your seat!!! It is action until the very end!

A father retires from Military secret service early in order to renew his relationship with his estranged 17 year old daughter. The daughter decides to take an extended vacation to Paris with her girlfriend, telling the parents that they are staying with her friends relatives and going to go to museums - when in fact they are going on a summerlong U2 tour all over Europe.

The girls meet a man at the airport that they think is a nice guy, when in fact he sets them up to be kidnapped to be sold into prostitution & drugs. As the daughter is telling her dad they made it safely to Paris, she sees her friend kidnapped and gets to tell her dad briefly of what is happening before she is also taken.

The dad talks to the kidnapper and tells him that he has a "unique set of skills" and they should let his daughter go. Boy, was he right....he goes to Paris and hunts down all the bad guys in a very unique way. This is definitely an Action flick....part of the audience even started clapping at the end. An enjoyable flick.
