Just Watched "Taken"

I just watched the movie, "Taken", with Liam Neeson.

Hot damn, what an awesome, brutal, *-kicking, bad guy killing flick. Two thumbs up and a hearty 'hell yeah'.

Brings clarity to the terms "gettin down to it" and "you've got it to do, so get to it".[;)]

    Count on it. Good, no nonsense violence, for a purpose. A pure "man movie".

    I have not seen the film yet but I know the plot. If they grabbed my oldest daughter rather than my searching for her for 90 hours the kidnappers would probably hand her back in 90 minutes!

    "Don't drag me, I just polished my toe nails and they are not dry".

    "I hope your hideout is in a Hilton".

    "Do you think that three outfits and five pair of shoes will be enough"?

    "Is there a swimming pool or spa"?

    You are not going to stuff me into a freaking Chrysler! Get the keys to my Mercedes out of my bag and let's go in that"!

    My wife and I went to see it...best movie I have seen in a long while. Also, did anyone else notice that it was a great movie and you literally do not hear one cuss in the whole thing (at least not that I recall). That's rare in todays world.

    It's a kickazz movie. I've had it here at the house for two weeks or so. Just finished watching it. That's one of them that you will want to watch again and again.
    Good Luck.

    Pretty good, and Neeson pulled off the badass role surprisingly well, but not nearly enough killing for my tastes.

    Not enough killing? He knocks off at least forty guys and that ain't enough? And five or so of those was while he was handcuffed, might I add.

    "You either give me what I need or this switch will stay on until they turn the power off for lack of payment on the bill."

    Yeah...I recommend this movie. Liam Neeson played the part very well and his cold methodical sytle helped make the movie.

    I was about to order it based on these reviews, but they want $40 for the DVD. I'll get it later when it gets to $10 or $12.

    Evidently there were three other movies named Taken, so if you order it, be careful.

    Arnold capped twice that many dudes in Commando. That's my standard for when an action movie has enough violence for me.

    My bride and I saw it about 2 weeks ago. Awesome flick. I didnt keep track, but he must have killed about 25 bad guys to get his daughter back.

    Well written and directed movie and Neeson seriously kicked some *.

    I liked it. Nice to see the bad guys get kicked around for a change. Wish it happened more in real life.

    My wife and I saw the movie Saturday. It is really good. She is telling all of her friends to see it. What I thought was neat was there wasn't any vulgar language. Imagine that, a good movie without the low rent verbage.
