Here's another movie review for you, but unfortunately it's not as "glowing" as the past few I've given. Yesterday, I got the chance to hang out with my brother and sister-in-law and see the movie Taken, starring Liam Neeson. The story's about a government "preventer" who retires to make up for lost time with his daughter. On a trip with a friend, the daughter gets kidnapped and sold into the slave trade, causing Neeson to bring out his old bag of tricks from his spy days to get her back within the limited time span. Yeah, Liam Neeson with his accent is pretty cool, and the fighting scenes are exciting, but we all agreed the Bourne movies were much better. There just wasn't much to the movie - 80% of the movie was filled with the fighting, and that fighting just wasn't as good as Bourne.
I'd give the movie *** 3 stars. It's good, but I'd wait to see it til it comes out on video rather than seeing it in the theater.
