So i just finished watching the movie "Taken" which was recently released in theaters, and can honestly say that, in my opinion, its one of the most entertaining movies ive seen in awhile. Its kinda like the Bourne series, if you will.

Im not sure if this is not allowed, so i apologize, in advance, to any moderators that deem this inappropriate, for the record i will be buying an actual copy of it to support it because i was so impressed with it.

here ya go!

the day my friend and I saw this we were so obsessed with the quote" I will find you, and I will kill you", that we prank phone called only saying that quote then hanging up, we also wrote it on fogged windows of cars, movie was excellent, but kind of rediculous because he kills, everybody, he wants to.

i thought the ending was weak... he like saves her, and she just leaves him and runs back to her mommy, and rich step-daddy... stupid

she hasnt officially died, but she is on full life support and is probably brain dead, which is basically the same thing i guess

Am I the only one who was horrified by 90% of the actors? Jesus christ, the girl just pissed me off, and the storyline, or at least the ending, was so damn predictable. To play the devils advocate, I guess its not really about the ending, but the journey to find his daughter, but damnnit, throw a couple curveballs in there. The sex trade thing was interesting, but the characters/background was just retarded/unimpressive to me.

Seriously, the real happy ending would have been:

A) we saw the daughters tits
B) The girl either got her mouth shot/vocal cords ripped out
C) The daughter was actually never put in the movie because her acting was god awful.


To say that the movie was amazing is by any means an overstatement. It was a mediocre action flick that varisty jacket jocks brought their hunnies to. Actually I went with girlfriend, but I still found it retarded. Especially after realizing he basically brought down an entire underground trade market in what... 2-3 days? How the fuck cant someone just straight up shoot people like him. I still dont know why I'm talking about this movie.

Lastly, I would have fucked the daughter, daughters friends, and daughters mom. those were the top notch parts of the movie by far. And the pony part was wayyyy too mary-kate and ashley-esq.

yeah the movie was pretty fast paced. like right after he got off the plane he was already kicking ass. you gotta take it for what it is, its just a typical action movie.

if you wanna see a well made movie/series on sex slaves and stuff, watch human trafficking. thats a good series.

haha well yeah.

But seriously though, useless tactics that might come in handy one day. Like when he shot everyone in the room when he meets the albanian dude that was on the phone and the other guy walks in and is like where the hell is he. little does he know liam is a sneaky fool and is on the floor under a dead guy. pay attention to surroundings and all that.

that and  to be very wary of my audi driving Albanian friend..............

Im on to you and your underground prostitution ring ways steve...
