Taken is the latest thriller/bourne-like movie. There is action and suspense. But from what we learned from Transformers, thats not enough for a good movie.
The acting was good for the most part. Liam Neeson was fantastic. But hes like a big fish in a small pond, with all the other acting just okay. The mom (girl from X-Men, Jean Gray) pretty much whines, cries, and pouts the whole movie. The villain was pretty good, and the daughter wasn't terrible (not that she was good). Liam Neeson gives a believable role, which makes this movie entertaining to watch.
The action scenes are intense and fun. I love the chase scene at the beginning. There are some great action scenes, but I have to comment on the dialogue. Most of the time it is good, but Liam Neeson at the beginning wasn't great. I thought he got better through the film, but thats probably because it kept on getting more suspenseful.
The story for the most part was good. It really gives you a sense of how sick and evil some people in the world are. It really makes you think that Liam Neeson really cares about his daughter in the film.
This movie is good. Its not the movie I was expecting, but its still good.
B+

Great review. Liam Neeson almost deserved a Golden Globe for this.
