Taken - Liam Neeson

egoslicer · 07-25-2008, 10:20 PM

Starring Liam Neeson, from the writer of 5th Element. Very Man on Fire vibe. It was released in Europe in February, no idea when it hits the states but its out on DVD already overseas, so you may be able to find it.

Anyhow, excellent film if you can find it.

Looks interesting, if only for the chance to see Liam being a badass; something that was sadly cut short in Kingdom of Heaven and Star Wars.

I'll see it because I'm in love with Famke. She's so goddamn sexy.

Looks pretty wicked

I love Liam Neeson and Famke Jannsen, I will definitely be on the lookout for this one.

Saw a trailer for it when I went to see Dark Knight, looks rather wicked.

I was looking at this the other day, there is a screener out but it is hardsubbed in Cantonese.

Watched this last night. Was very entertaining and Liam beat some ass. Also kinda gives you a sick feeling knowing some of this shit in the movie happens IRL.

Watched it last night as well. Good movie, and hell, I didn't even realize it was PG-13. Liam Neeson definitely beats a lot of ass.

Looks good is it at hollywood video or am I going to have to DL it?

Blank · 07-30-2008, 05:25 PM

watched it based on movie house recommendation... very good movie. Surprised it was PG-13 (I guess? torrented it). Lots of pretty intense scenes and shit. Only thing that bothered me:

Other than that, good times.

Except for two specific scenes, I found it to be pretty boring. The large plot holes (Blank pointed out the big one) didn't help much either. Liam pulled off a good performance as usual, but even that couldn't make this anything more than mediocre.

The two scenes I'm referring to are:

Completely unbelievable movie, but it was a lot of fun and im always glad to see Liam Neeson even in a silly ridiculous film like this.

This. I couldn't give a shit about the plot holes or whether it was believable, it was still a great movie. If you like the Bourne movies but hate shaky-cam, you absolutely should watch this.

As for the PG-13 rating, the version most/all of you have watched is not the PG-13 cut. There's not a huge difference but the torture scene is toned down, and I would bet it will lose some of the blood. Not sure why you make a revenge movie anything less than R anyway, but oh well. The violence was still pretty brutal.

Only thing that bothered me: Spoiler Alert, click show to read: the guy pretty much kills a crap load of people in Paris and seems to get away with it no problems asked. I mean, after he shot that french dude's wife I was like... no way this movie has a happy ending. He's gotta die in the end or something. Not only does he not die, he flies home with his daughter and goes and meets some pop star at the end... wtf. Other than that, good times. __________________
