    Re: Taken

    Thanks for the heads-up guys. I saw the commerical for it and while it looked interesting, I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. Guess I'll have to go see it once it's out.

        Looks pretty blah and that annoying broad from LOST is in it. Hopefully it'll be on TV in five years and I'll check it out.

            Hardly.

            For starters, this is his daughter, not a child he was to bodyguard.

            Second, Denzel just oozed cool in that movie... no matter what the hell was happening, in the trailers I've seen, Niason seems a bit crazed in his approach.

                Saw it and the first half of the movie was average and as much as I like Liam, the dialogue from him didnt sound natural at all and sounded like he was reading from a script. Once it gets going though I think it gets good and I enjoyed the second half of the movie much more then the first.

                  If they would have cut the ending a bit shorter, it would have been much better. Anyone agree?

                    Was there a reason this got delayed in the US? Seems kinda sketchy, most movies that do that end up sucking...

                      I finally saw the trailer today... looks pretty cool. I don't expect it to be a great film or anything, but should be a good action flick.

                        What the guys who kidnapped his daughter don't know, is that he has mad lightsaber skills.

                          My wife said it 3 times while we watched it, the acting is painful.

                          I like the movie a lot, but the overall acting is just...bad.

                            Eh, I didn't see anything wrong with the acting for the most part, I don't know, I don't usually expect action thrillers to be filled with great acting. It seemed pretty standard for an action flick. Movies like Bourne Identity raised the bar, but they aren't standard. Anyway I enjoyed the movie a lot, all the way until the end, which I thought was pretty damn terrible. My wife and I were loving it until then.

                            Spoiler


                            Except for that though, I enjoyed the movie. Reminded me of back in the days when I used to watch those Steven Segal type movies about one man wrecking crews, out for justice and all that stuff.

                              I don't know how, but every time I saw this thread, I mistook it for "Awake."

                              I saw this movie some time last year, and loved it. I'm not sure if I'll buy it, though... it's one of those movies where every new turn coming can only be refreshing so many times.

                                I'm interested to see this movie, but I'll probably wait to dvd. First time I saw the trailer, I was intrigue and some the complete trailer online and seemed pretty good.
