Saw the movie in theater and loved it so much I had to own it. loads of action and a believable plot line. got the blu ray disc used and it was in pristine condition. we have been watching movies as our family Christmas tradition for several years now and got this for that purpose. it was shipped and arrived earlier than expected. I would definitely order this way again.

Liam Neeson (Schindler's List, Michael Collins & Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and many more titles) stars as a retired CIA agent in this action packed thriller. When his daughter Kim, played by Maggie Grace (The Fog, Suburban Girl & The Jane Austen Book Club) is abducted in Paris Neeson springs into action using his former skills to track down the abductors and find his daughter. Once you get past the introduction of the characters the movie is full of action with car chases, foot chases, hand to hand fighting and much more. The nearly 57 year old Neeson is not particularly known as an action star but his pulls this role off with flying colors. The movie carried a lot of hype into it's DVD release and it manages to live up to most of that hype. I rate this movie a solid 4 of 5 and recommend it for it's good action and drama.Read full review

What I like best about this movie is the storyline about a father who will risk everything to save his daughter. I am a father myself so that really stuck out to me. Overall, a great action movie. One thing I noticed is that Liam's character clearly drives a Nissan Sentra but it is very obvious on interior shots that the car is different, more like a BMW 7 series. The movie, I believe, tries a little too hard to show the polar opposites of the mother and father. Granted, without the enormous wealth of the stepfather and the special ops training of the father, this movie would not work. Overall, though, this film has a good story to it, a good ending and is filled with adrenaline pumping action sequences. I recommend this film! (so you know it's good)
'Taken' is a great action movie. Liam Neeson is cast in the role of an ex-special agent who has left his job to live nearer to his daughter. He and his wife are divorced and his daughter lives with her mother and step-father who are quite wealthy and not as protective of her as Liam Neeson is. His daughter travels to France with a friend and is abducted by white slave traders shortly after she arrives there. Just as she is being abducted she is speaking to Liam Neeson on the phone. He gives her instructions on what to do. The abductors pick up the phone and Liam Neeson tells them to release his daughter or they will be sorry. The rest of the movie is non-stop action as Liam Neeson flies to France in order to find his daughter. One might think that this casting is out-of-character, and it is, but it is brilliant! Liam Neeson may well be the next great action movie actor. He is toned up and trimmed down. Whoever did his training for the moves in this film is to be commended. He kicks butt! If you like action movies, don't miss this. You will be on the edge of your seat the whole time.Read full review
