Review of Taken (1999) by Bryce I — 04 Mar 2014
Straightforward revenge porn for the exact same post-college male demographic that keeps putting Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Willis back in lead title roles -- middle-aged fathers will be especially susceptible to this movie's revenge plot.
Mindless, yes, but executed specifically to make 'the old guy' look supremely bad-as-fuck - and thanks to a whole lot of gritty sound editing and shaky-cam action sequences, Liam Neeson totally nails the role.
Eat your heart out Bruce Willis. 4/5.
