Taken – Just what I was looking for

Meaghan and I went on a date to see the movie Taken this weekend.  It’s an action movie featuring Liam Neeson as a retired government agent whose daughter is kidnapped.  The build-up is appropriate short allowing the action to go full swing early on.  The movie delivers a simple but rewarding story and was exactly what I was looking for.  Limited product placement and fast-paced directing finish the package nicely.  If you’re looking for a good excuse to brave the winter chill, Taken might be just what you’re looking for.  Moderate violence, but nothing gratuitous.
