Taken

Tonight I watched Taken, with Liam Neeson. I know that it doesn't come out in American theaters for another couple weeks, but as it is a foreign film, it is already out on DVD in Europe.

I give that movie an enormous A+. As is pretty obvious from the previews, Liam's daughter is kidnapped, and he tracks her down. But what you might not get from the trailer is how amazingly awesome Liam is in this role. It's like if Jason Bourne decided to kill everyone he met, not just the other secret-spy guys.

They do a great job with this film of making the bad guys really despicable. This is important because when the good guy goes on a killing rampage (as he does in this movie), you sometimes lose the vision of him as a good guy. These bad guys are so contemptible that my only regret was that Liam couldn't have killed them more. Or more painfully. Or again.

Anyway, this movie was awesome. See it if you want to see a couple hours of awesome rampage.
