Title: "Taken" on Blu-Ray, great action film
Review: I loved this movie, from start to finish. First of all, Liam Neeson does an amazing job, as a sort of obsessive-compulsive John McClain type anti-hero. His concern about his daughter's trip to Europe turns out to be correct when she is kidnapped, and he spends most of the movie doing whatever it takes to rescue her. The rage and violence that Neeson shows is credible in light of the brutal kidnapping of his daughter, allowing him to be more complex than the heroes in many action thrillers. The action is non-stop and includes some great sequences. The subplot involving police corruption adds to the story instead of bogging things down, and emphasizes that Neeson is on his own with his rescue mission.The Blu-Ray has excellent image quality and audio, with a decent if not huge array of extras. If you like action movies, this is a definite must-see.
