Negative Positive
Title: Taken Review
Review: In my personal opinion, I don't think Liam Neeson is cut out for James Bond type of action thrillers. Even though he pulls it off, he is too intelligent of an actor and the roles he has played in his other films have had more depth and substance to them. The story of the film is interesting and reminded me of Mel Gibson's Ransom which is similar in that both actors play fathers whose child is kidnapped. There were multiple ethnic groups represented as the "bad guys" and I didn't get a sense of how they were all connected to each other. The film moves very quickly without much continuity between the scenes unfortunately. I like Liam Neeson as an actor. I did not like this film.
