Early retired C.I.A. agent Bryan (Liam Neeson: Batman Begins, Love Actually) stars in an action-suspense film that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Bryan has chosen the quiet life so that he could move closer to his teenage daughter Kim played by (Maggie Grace: The Fog, Lost t.v. series).
Trying to make up for lost time since the agency kept him away from family life much of the time, Bryan sneaks in time whenever and wherever he can.
Kim, announcing that she is going to take a trip abroad with her friend Bryan is instantly apprehensive, just as any father should be. Shortly after arriving at their destination, Bryans worst fears as a parent come true. Both Kim and her friend are abducted.
Taking immediate action Bryan sets out after his daughter and her captors. Armed with his skills from the agency and connections from a past life Neeson's character takes you down a very dark road.
Neeson is now in full action hero mode as he tracks down the men who took Kim, eventually learning she was, by an Albanian crime ring for use in an underground sex ring. With little time and little help Bryan takes all matters into his own hands, he takes you further down in the underground world of sex-trafficking.
The Taken movie will get you blood pumping and your heart rascing. In true Jason Bourne style Neeson carries the screen singlehandedly. I vote a must see for anyone looking for a thrilling gritty action flick...
