Taken 8.5/10
I'm sure you've read the same reviews I have of this movie. They say Liam Neeson pretty much takes over the movie and the other characters are almost non-existent. They also say Liam Neeson is a stale actor. I'll admit, these things may be partially true. I guarantee you one thing, though. You won't notice that until you're already home, sitting on the couch, pondering the badassery that is this movie. What is the purpose of movies, anyway? To entertain you for their duration. Well, in NO way does this movie fall short of that goal. You immediately are drawn into the plot and become a self-proclaimed detective. You want to figure everything out before it happens.........but you won't. Crap comes flying out of no where and blows your mind. Spectacular special effects, plot twists, and heart wrenching scenes keep you entertained from the get go. You won't be dissapointed in this movie.
