Taken

Liam Neeson

This was written by Luc Besson and it looked it. Extremely violent, fast-paced, completely preposterous story that raced along so quickly you had no time to think about the absurdity of it all. It was obvious formula product from minute 1 and in spite of myself I didn't turn it off...instead I got caught up in it for the full 93 minutes.

It worked...as diversion...as entertainment...as vicarious thrills. It set out to do no more than that so I guess it was successful.
