Movie Review : Taken

Weekends are usually the days where Dearie and I will go catch a movie, walking around the shopping mall and enjoy a little shopping for clothes, groceries or food. This week, we wanted to watch Fast and Furious 4. While we were at the queue, we had a back-up plan to choose another movie if the seats for the show was full. Yes.. indeed it was almost full. Only left a few rows of seat from the screen. So, we watch "Taken" instead.

It is about Bryan (Liam Neeson), a former secret agent living in the US, reluctantly lets his 17-year-old daughter Kim (Maggie Grace, "Lost") go on holiday to Paris with a friend. Upon arrival in Paris, the two girls meet a seemingly nice young man, Peter who turns out to be a member of an Albanian crime syndicate, promptly kidnapping and forcing them into prostitution. Bryan must rely on his old skills in order to rescue his daughter from the slave trade.

Taken is a very nice movie. There are some some bullet scenes but none hits him. Well, it always happens in the movies, right? Recommended to watch (^_^) By the way, a very sad news is that in real life Liam Neeson's wife passed away on a ski accident. I think it was just before the preview of this movie or something like that..
