Move over Jason Bourne : Movie Review - Taken


I remember when I first saw Liam Neeson as Oscar Schindler in Schindler’s List; the man demonstrated his ability to perform in dramatic roles. Now with his newest action-thriller titled, Taken, Mr. Neeson adds a whole new dimension to his repertoire.

This film has all that a movie-goer needs: a massive amount of bullets, hand to hand combat, drugs, car chases, and a superman-like protagonist attempting to rescue a beautiful girl. Although there are some holes in the script, you should be able to immerse yourself in the film and enjoy the ride. So if you're a fan of the action and spy thriller movies like The Bourne Identity or Casino Royale, this should feed your appetite quite well!

Taken is top film this past weekend

Contrary to what was stated in our previous post, Taken was the top earner at the theaters this weekend. The film made approximately $24.7 million, which is impressive since films tend to fare poorly during Super Bowl weekends. The film features Liam Neeson on the trail of his kidnapped daughter. The second highest grossing film this weekend was Paul Blart: Mall Cop, still holding on near the top.
