Taken

This is the time of the year when movies usually suck. However, there are some movies that come around that remind me that I don't have to go through three months of bad movies and no, it isn't Friday the 13th. Taken is a prefect example of a movie that shines bright above all the other movies that come out at this time of year. Taken is an action flick that shows you the meaning of pain. In the movie, Bryan(Liam Neeson) takes an early retirement from the CIA to be able to spend more time with his daughter. When the daughter flies with her friend to Paris, she gets kidnapped and Bryan, with his CIA training, takes it into his own hands to rescue her. In this movie it seemed that the plot was not as important as the action. The plot line was simply Liam Neeson killing people to save his daughter from prostitution. Even with the thin plot, the action didn't disappoint. This was a really fun movie. 7 out of 10.
