So it seems I am a Luc Besson fan. Which is no bad thing. He’s very cool. So is Taken. It singlehandedly reaffirmed that Liam Neeson is indeed kickass. He plays a retired CIA agent whose daughter gets kidnapped by some really mean lady traffickers. I put it like that because the actual reality of it all is pretty horrific and brutal, and I don’t think it needs a description really. See it for yourself. No, really. It’s very good. I think it’s an 18, on account of the violence and general adult themes. Mostly, though, Liam Neeson is a complete legend. He should have been Bond. Although I guess being Qui-Gon Jinn and Ra’s al Ghul makes up for it.
