Have you seen this movie? Comments on it? The review in today's paper frowned upon it.
Edit: I saw it this afternoon. It's very cathartic. Kinda fun to see slimeball foreigners get their due. I enjoyed it.

Its a good action movie.
If you wanna see Liam Neeson kick some arse go for it.
IF you want plot and characters skip it.

Puts bourne to shame imo.

LSUtigahs accurately sums up the movie in two sentences.
That being said, if you want to watch a truly interesting movie on the sex slave trade rent TRADE.

how can anyone say this?
Bournes were original and there's been three of em all just as good as the others.
Taken was good in the arse-kicking revenge mold, but no way was it as good as Bourne. At least imo.
But I've never been wrong.

Thanks to all (except GG).

Very entertaining. Kick-arse action-revenge movie. In the vein of Commando except Liam Neeson speaks english.

I see your point. I just thought taken was a little more realistic than bourne. But i can't comment anymore on the subject. Wedding Crashers is on right now and i think that's something we can all agree on.

That was a good thread, definitely a lot of interest in this film.

this I can't really agree with and for one reason. Gunfire.
At least in Bourne the spraying of machine guns is held at the very minimum. In taken it's another one of those movies where no less than ten thousand bullets were fired at Liam only to be hit by the very last one.
You know the one that leaves him slightly wounded so he can leave the scene with some bandages.
Most of the combat in the Bournes is hand to hand so it becomes more believable, for me at least.

SPOILERS
I would've thought you would've gone with the phone call to Liam and the Mom before he leaves. I mean you got all of that information from "Good Luck". Really?
I really enjoyed the movie, except that part.

yeah...or when he had that guy read the 'good luck' to him
what if it wasn't that guy but another guy in the room...he would've had to wreck shop without any cool lines
