Taken (I) (2008)
7/10
Great Action Flick
19 January 2009
"Taken" is a typical action movie, but it is pretty entertaining. I wouldn't call this movie amazing or anything like that. However, it puts you on the edge of your seat. It's full of action, mainly Liam Neeson beating the crap out of people in various ways, and with a good right to do so. The plot is a little hokey, as I highly doubt the likeliness of certain situations present in the movie. It is a movie though, and we know it is not real. So, it has great entertainment value, a typical style action plot, and not too much character development. Is it the best action flick? No, but it is pretty good and has some nice beat downs. Not bad at all and worth the watch.

Could Have Been Something
19 January 2009
This movie started off decently, then slowly after about five minutes it just goes down hill. The film has terrible acting and the characters make the most idiotic choices. The plot, which no one can even comprehend by the end of the movie, is just awful. Nothing makes sense and you will be left scratching your head. The only scary part about this movie is the clown. The clown is creepy and looks very original and cool. If they would have focused on the clown, had a more defined plot structure, and better acting...well it wouldn't have gone straight to video. The whole film is just completely ruined, and with their budget and scenery it could have actually been scary and cool. This is a complete waste of your time, so please don't spend any money on this garbage.
