Taken

Liam Neeson stars as an ex "preventer" who's daughter heads to Paris and is kidnapped with her friend by some dirty Albanian scumbags. He heads out of retirement and puts a serious hurt on anyone standing in his way. I do mean anyone. I'm talking about you innocent housewife!!

Luc Besson who wrote The Professional and two of the Transporters and a bunch of other shit wrote this. The more I see of stuff he came up with the more I'm inclined to say oh he wrote this so I'm sure it'll be full of highly entertaining, over the top, balls out action and a story about hookers or human trafficking. Sold.

This starts out letting us know who the characters are. As soon as the movie heads to Paris, all bets are off. He shows up and pretty much turns into Jason Statham in the Transporter. Only thing is he's like thirty years older and the only thing being transported by him are fucking beatings for all these foreign ass perverts. He lays the beat downs like a hard ass and it was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. For a PG-13 rating, I'm surprised at how much gun play, killings an half naked bitches were in here. Really if there were a couple of accented fucks in there and a few titties, this would be one of the best brainless actioners I've seen in a bit.

Everyone behind this knew how to start the engine and keep things going at break neck speeds. There's no dumb shit to this movie as any fat has been trimmed and we are served up to a big plate of awesome.
