Taken (Liam Neeson Content)

Sign in to disble this ad
If I was ever not convinced that Liam Neeson can be badass, I am converted today.

Also, he is a giant. I'm 6'2", and I feel dwarfed by him.

That is all.

How was the movie though??? It's on my to-see list, but reviews have been pretty split.

The movie is somewhat predictable... But nonetheless, it's a great movie. And the movie is FILLED with Audi's - another reason why I liked the movie.

I'll chime in...it was good. I wouldn't say great. But definitely worth the matinee price I paid to see it. I enjoyed it.

I'll say this.

Liam Neeson's incredible acting saved a mediocre script.

Definitely not on my top 100 list, but worth the price of admission.

cool! Sounds like fun. I'm not much of a movie connoisseur anyway, it doesn't take much to entertain me!

I remember in the summer going to my buddy's house and him telling me about how amazing that movie is...


The thing has been leaked for a crazy amount of time.

Yeah, it starts out and the dialog seems pretty wooden and rediculous. You think "seriously?"

And then, the ass kicking starts and its pretty non-stop and for the rest of the movie... no plot development, not really any surprises (well, there was a thing or two that I wasn't expecting that were kinda cool), but thats probably not really what you're looking for with a movie like this.

You're not expecting some kind of deeper meaning or profound statement from it, so its entertaining and well worth watching.
