This movie was fast paste and full of action. Some of the action was very graphic and startling.It starts with a divorced Dad showing up at his seventeen year old daughters birthday party. The ex-wife was anything but Paris both girls fall victims to the sex-for-sale business that is very successful in Europe. They steal young pretty girls, drug them and sell to who ever will pay for them. The more innocent the girl; the higher the price was to buy her. It was "Just business, not personal" as one character states in the movie. The father of this young girl takes it very personally and the rest of the movie is his pursuit and destruction of those involved with the kidnapping of his daughter. The twist is that this father had worked for years with the government, doing jobs that dealt with preventing this type of businessmen from succeeding with their works. He was a retired international under cover cop. Taken is a thrilling yet brief action charged with the emotional fervor of a dad racing against the clock to save his only child. It could also be seen as an exaggerated cautionary tale about the dangers of traveling abroad. The performances are strong, the action is riveting and if you ever doubted Neeson’s “leading man” skills then Taken will make you a believer. I liked the movie. I do not take movies seriously, but I suppose kids would. The usage of young women on this movie by adult males is very degrading and shows how helpless girls on their own can be. White slavery has always been a fact of history and probably always will be and as long as there are unfeeling men and helpless women sex will be a most profitable business for men. Usually they are wealthy White men.
