Taken


Seventeen year-old Kim is the pride and joy of her father Bryan Mills. Bryan is a retired agent who left the Secret Service to be near Kim in California. Kim lives with her mother Lenore and her wealthy stepfather Stuart. Kim manages to convince her reluctant father to allow her to travel to Paris with her friend Amanda. When the girls arrive in Paris they share a cab with a stranger named Peter, and Amanda lets it slip that they are alone in Paris. Using this information an Albanese gang of human traffickers kidnaps the girls. Kim barely has time to call her father and give him information. Her father gets to speak briefly to one of the kidnappers and he promises to kill the kidnappers if they do not let his daughter go free. The kidnapper wishes him "good luck," so Bryan Mills travels to Paris to search for his daughter and her friend.

  1. Awesome. I think Liam Neeson does a great job playing the part. Non-stop action/suspense. I thought they did a pretty tasteful job portraying one of the ugliest things.

  2. Great movie!! And i really liked that it DID NOT show more of the disgusting acts that people do in this world. (haha, i just looked at Craig's review and noticed he basically said the same thing!)
