Title: Taken takes violence up a notch - BAM!
Review: This is a strange move from the normally intellectual roles Neeson plays. He's the former super-spy-now-retired-and-reclusive divorced father who loves his daughter a whole lot. But then (duh-da!) she gets TAKEN.This flick moves very very fast. Once you get past the first twenty minutes, the director kicks it into the stratosphere, and my word do the bodies pile high. Neeson intimidates, maims and kills every bad guy in his way. Taken has no use for its PG-13 rating: only the absence of blood and graphic violence keep this flick just barely from getting the R.Take it for what it's worth, a simple fast and brutal film that's just as forgettable.
