Bryan Mills is in retirement in Los
Angeles and has more time to spend with his 17-year-old daughter, Kim (Maggie
Grace), who now lives with his ex-wife (Famke Janssen) and her millionaire
husband (Xander Berkeley). He warns Kim not to go to Paris with a female friend
because it’s dangerous for an all-female duo. The warning proves correct when Kim
and friend are kidnapped by a notorious Albanian kidnap ring.
Now comes the exciting part. Mills has
96 hours to rescue Kim and her friend before they are drugged and sold as
prostitutes. The virgins are auctioned off to Arab sheiks who, after having sex
for several days, will have the girls killed.
In spite of the critic the film
received, Taken proves one thing. Liam Neeson, together with director
Pierre Morel, and script writer/producer Luc Besson can bring realism and
credibility to any role or any film just by playing or assembling the film very
well. Just take a look at Besson’s past film record (The Fifth Element, Taxi, The Transporter) and you will see why Liam
is truly cut out for Mill’s role.
Perhaps one day, Liam can be cast in one
of the “Bourne” Whatever series. In the meantime, download Taken for your action
viewing pleasure.
