Taken (I) (2008)

A slick action fest that makes bourne and bond look like they are in pre-school.

[10/10 · 7 December 2008]

When you watch a relatively unknown movie which suddenly gets you off guard is considered in my books as the best movies i have ever seen and Taken is one of its kind. This movie focus on a retired spy who chose his job before his life comes home to get closure with his daughter and when his estranged daughter gets kidnapped and forced into slave trade his old skills kicks in and there begins the story and the rest of the movie becomes a tribute to its genre. The key element of the movie is its lead Liam nesson(Bryan mills) who established his credential as a serious actor from movies like Schindler's list, Batman begins and Gangs of new york dawns a role thats tailor-made for action stars like Jason statham and just kills it. His character is so well structured, thanks to the brilliant mind of writer Luc besson who gave such classics as Leon, Taxi and transporter series. His screenplay moves at a pace where you cant turn back and ask yourself whether the events taking place are possible that is the strength on which this movie rides. its further polished when its given in the hands of a director made a cult action classic District B13 who just nails it shot after shot. if your ever wanted an action film that would blow your mind off this is it and i guarantee you its worth your time.

A Political Satire Masterpiece

[10/10 · 10 December 2007]

This is the movie which made me fall in love with the oldies. I used to sit tight to watch old movies as they are presumably slow but this movie changed it all. With its superb plotline and excellently crafted screenplay and the best goddamn casting I have ever seen, the reason for the above-stated comment is because this movie has my all-time favourite screen character general Buck Turgidson(George.C.Scott). I am a huge peter sellers fan, his performance in this movie will be rated in my books has one of his top 3 performance still George.C.Scott over shadowed sellers. And if you are a true fan of Stanley Kubrick(the best) you will love it. Political satires are mostly outdated by time but this movie can be related to any countrymen whenever he watches it. I voted 10 for this movie if you ask me why - It deserves it.
