The title of the movie Taken in it self is nearly a spoiler for the audience. When first introduced you can already assume aren’t going to be watching a romantic comedy. This movie directed by Pierre Morel although entertaining isn’t going to be that action flick to break the mold.
Liam Neeson shows us other talent we haven’t seen in him before in this action film. He actually holds a candle to his character of Bryan Mills. Bryan Mills is a former spy who retired from the game to be apart of his daughter’s life. Maggie Grace playing the role of Kim, Bryan’s daughter goes to France with a girlfriend of hers to following the tour of their favorite band.
Though the films storyline is not so complex it does have great visual entrapment. Shortly after the girls arrive in France, three men take Kim’s friend, as Kim on the phone with her father watches from across the house. Liam Neeson’s character advises his daughter to go into the next bedroom and
get under the bed; he then goes on to tell her she is going to be taken. One of the men pick up the phone and Mills tells the man that, “If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”
The rest of the movie is based on him finding his daughter. With his ties to people in the French government a task seemingly ever impossible to the average person is something that this man, Bryan Mills doesn’t put past him self.
The basing of this movie is of European Human Trafficking. Where innocent American girls arriving in Europe seeming entirely untainted by anything of evil are now the center of it. Introducing this film to America shows the dangers most don’t think of when traveling overseas.
With imperiling action scenes Bryan Mills continues to take on a many array of repulsive villains and show them whose boss.
Pierre Morel definitely did this movie justice. It’s a good movie with a decent plot line, with good visuals. It’s Taken!
