Blu-Ray Review
Taken
Directed by: Pierre Morel
Cast: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen
Running Time: 1 hr, 31 mins
Rating: PG-13
Due out: May 12, 2009
Plot: A man (Neeson) revives his past-life skills as an assassin when his daughter (Grace) is kidnapped in Europe.
Who’s It For? If you love action films, you’ve probably seen Taken. But anyone who wants to add a little excitement to their life should consider renting this.
Movie: Could we ever have expected Neeson to be such a natural butt kicker? Here he fits like a glove (that’s covered in a lot of blood, probably) in the role of indifferent killing machine. Co-writer Luc Besson has another bullet bonanza (like his The Professional) that touches action fans in the dustiest corners of our hearts.

- The Scorecard Review
How far would you go to save a loved one? What would you do? Who would you kill? Asking these questions, Taken originally opened in Europe before its Us release; Parisian crowds were ecstatic for the brutal vision of director Pierre Morel and writer Luc Besson. But American audiences didn’t get to share in that vision. What came to American theaters was a limping watered down version of the film – consequently, critical and audience reception suffered. The Blu-ray release of Taken rectifies the theatrical mistake and gives audiences the choice between more or less brutality.
Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) has played the role of absentee father in the life of his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) thanks in large part to his career in the secret service.
