Taken

Starscream · 01-31-2009, 04:51 PM

I took the wife out to see this movie last night. Wasn't expecting much out of it. Boy was I surprised! It's no Academy Award winner by any means, but it was a nai-biting, edge-of-your-seat type of film. Thoughts?

Was able to come back into town this weekend. The boy and I went seen the first showing of the day on Friday (so he played hooky). Excellent movie. I thought it was the best movie I've seen in a while, other than Gran Torino. Without giving out any spoilers, I think this movie expresses something I think all of us would do for our children, if we had certain skills.

cant wait to see it...heard good things

Very entertaining. He's Jack Bauer on steroids.

Starscream · 02-01-2009, 04:06 PM

I could see Harrison Ford playing this role.

Skywalker · 02-02-2009, 09:01 AM

Thanks for the review!!!

Now I want to see it!!!

From a pure entertainment standpoint, I'd give this one 5 stars. Just sit back and enjoy for 90 minutes.

Liam Neeson was such a bad ass MF in this movie. He would give the 80's and 90's Steven Seagal a run for his money!

Good movie!!

hotreds · 02-08-2009, 06:39 PM

Very good. Need to see it again and add up the body count!

ucla695 · 02-08-2009, 07:24 PM

The wife and I tried to see this last night, but it was sold out in two theaters and the 10:00 shows were way to late for us. Now I know why I prefer to see matinees.

We'll try again next weekend.

RX2010 · 02-14-2009, 09:05 PM

haven't seen it, but I really want to, Liam Neeson is such a stud (no homo)

groogs · 02-14-2009, 09:27 PM

My friend went to see this yesterday, and said it was great. I am really looking forwart to watching this one.

ucla695 · 02-16-2009, 07:43 PM

I watched this over the weekend and thought it was a good, solid movie. You just have to suspend disbelief and you're set. Good action and Liam was a bad a$$.

KidRock · 02-16-2009, 07:50 PM

I heard that dude pistol whips about a million ppl. Now I want to see it.
