Taken

Hats off to Director Pierre Morel and the makers of this movie. It could have been far more violent and much more graphic sexually. All would have been unnecessary. The movie is just fine without it.

What lengths would you go to; what skills would you employ; who would you be willing to hurt to secure the return of a loved one who had been taken? This story may help you explore some of those thoughts.

Liam Neeson makes a very interesting choice in taking this role. A good story well told would do the trick I think. He plays a retired CIA "preventer" who goes from LA to Paris to retrieve his daughter when she is kidnapped.

As a daddy of daughters it was very easy for me to relate to Neeson's character. Every moment is believable. As I said this movie could easily have been made to be a very hard R. But, PG-13 is just right. No need to go there though.

Watch this movie with someone who has, or is, a daughter.
