Taken

Imagine if Jason Bourne grew up and had a daughter, and then she was kidnapped. What do you think he would do get her back? Well with that you have Taken starring Liam Neeson as a retired CIA operative who is trying to reconnect with his 17 year old daughter after being gone for so many years. She asks him of she could go to Paris with one of her friends. Initially he has reservations, but he decides to let her go. Almost as soon as they arrive in Paris they are kidnapped. While this is happening she calls her dad and this is where our movie starts. Neeson character goes on a rampage through Paris claiming he would "Tear down the Eiffel Tower if I have to.." to find his daughter. Overall Taken was a pretty entertaining, being as my expectations were so high for this film it didn't quite deliver. That's not so say is wasn't good though, because it was. Seeing Liam Neeson use no limits to what he would do to find his daughter was very compelling, and the action was decent, but for some reason I got in my head that this film was going to be another Bourne film. So with that expectation, for me, it didn't deliver, other than that Taken is a really entertaining ride.
