  • Movie Triple Bill Part 1: Taken

    2009-04-30 12:05AM / 標準BLOG / 會員可以看

     Watched "Taken" with my dad. Before I begin any sort of review, let me share this quote from the bit where his daughter gets kidnapped and he realises it's the kidnapper on the phone: -

    I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money... but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

    Which, by the way, is insanely badass. That coupled with the fact that it's said by the same dude behind Aslan and Qui-gon Jinn just gives it that much more gravity. I mean if it's one thing you don't do, it's mess with Qui-gon, unless of course you happen to be Darth Maul. And people generally wouldn't like to mess with a Lion-shaped avatar of Christ either. But no, these crazy Albanians go and kidnap his daughter. And so he unleashes his fury upon them.

    The movie is pretty good, as can be expected from Luc Besson, and Neeson makes a convincing killing-machine. He goes through the movie as if he had four fists and balls of steel, which i am convinced he has. While i would not like to spoil the movie for you, it's obvious it ends on a  good note, although the road to that good note was littered with dead bodies of French, Arabic and Albanian descent.

    The action is pretty well choreographed. It might as well have been Qui-gon, sans Force powers, lightsabre and facial hair. The story, well, the story was pretty simple. Dudes take away the daughter. Father gets pissed, kills everyone, saves daughter. Pretty straight forward really.

    Its a good movie that should be at least watched once.
