'Taken' is a good movie, and I recommend it. (PG-13)

Liam Neeson is an underrated actor IMO.

I agree. He was excellent.

Absolutely!

This movie was amazing, and I love the fact that it was politically incorrect (REALISTIC) regarding the villains.

Amazing movie, and it flowed very well!

Hollywood (for some strange reason) really has their act together this year.

I loved Gran Torino, Defiance, Valkyrie and Taken.

No kidding.

Liam Neeson was in top form.

He wasn't playing around at all.

Loved every minute of it, especially the conclusion to the chase scene outside the airport terminal.

We took my 87 yr old mother who’s in a wheelchair. She usually falls asleep in movies, but she was wide awake in this one! She really liked it.

Hmmm, we may have to go to the movies this week, sounds like this is worthy, thanks for the ping.

You’re welcome! We actually had to sit way down in front because the theater was so crowded.

I predict the liberals and pacifists over at MSNBC will be wringing their hands over this movie.

There’s a 5-minute extended trailer on the movie’s Web site:

Click “Video”, then click “5 Minute Clip.”

This movie was recommended by a FRiend. Between that & the trailers, Eaker & I will be heading to the movie theatre next weekend (last movie we saw in the theatre was Passion of The Christ).
