Taken

I went to see the new Liam Neeson movie Taken today. This is a really different type of role for Neeson. He plays a retired 'government' worker who settles in L.A. to be closer to his hot 17 year old daughter, played by Maggie Grace, who lives there with her mom and step dad.












(this is not from the movie)




When the daughter is kidnapped on a trip to Paris the former agent springs into action. It is kind of hard to describe this movie. It starts a little slow while they are setting up the story line but once it moves to Paris it is pretty much non stop. Think of Neeson's character as a mixture of Gene Hackman in Target, Matt Damon in any Bourne movie and Daniel Craig in the last Bond movie. I liked this movie. It wasn't great but it was good. 3 Floyd's worth of good. Go see it.
