Who's in it?
Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen, Maggie Grace
What's the plot?
How far would a father go to get his daughter back?

Liam Neesen stars in ‘Taken’ as ex CIA agent Kinsey, an overprotective father, who after succumbing to parental pressures lets his daughter go to Paris for the summer with some friends. His years of experience are called upon when he hears his daughter being kidnapped over the phone.

An all out action thriller set in the beautiful backdrop of Paris, Liam Neesen excels in this stunning action film.

If you liked ‘The French Connection’ and ‘Ronin’, you’ll love ‘Taken’.

‘Taken’ – showing at your local Cinema.

Absolutely fantastic ilm.
A real action film with a believable story which made the difference; you felt for all those concerned.
Liam Neeson was great and was born for the part; from the moment it started, your pulse quickened getting faster until the climax.
Not just a blokey film, as there were many couples in the cinema who also thought it great.
You can tell when a film is good by the reaction of the audience afterwards, and everyone was excitedly talking about it.
RECOMMENDED-

A must see!!

I honestly did not think i would have enjoyed this film as im not really into action films but i am really glad i went to see it, it was brilliant! Liam Neeson is fantastic in it, like i have never saw him before. I would highly recommend going to see it.
You will be disappointed if you wait till it comes out on dvd the big screen makes the difference i think.

She wanted to see mirrors which is not my type, so reluctantly she knows i chose better films. This was a good film excitement from start to finish. Wife was on edge of seat, it keeps you gripped right the way through. Good plot except the over protective father part is a bit much considering he has not spent that much time with his daughter, Neeson is quality though and although a little old to play action roles of this nature he pulled it of. I would recommend to anyone.
Confirmed i have better taste than her in doors.
