Review:::Taken

I loved this movie! I had never actually heard of it. It was a suggested movie on Netflix and I thought I would give it a try. It is in the genre of an old Mel Gibson-type man-on-a-mission movie.

Liam Neeson plays Bryan Mills, an ex-spy who's daughter and friend goes missing while vacationing in Paris. The daughter (Maggie Grace) is taken by an Albanian group involved in human trafficking and her father is on a mission to find her. He is working against the clock and worried that he might be too late.

If you like action type movies - this is right up your alley. The violence was not over-the-top - a la Steven Seagal - but enough that was believable without getting into the gory. The language wasn't bad - I thought it would be much worse for this genre of movie - but I was surprised at the lack of cursing. There is no sex or nudity - even though the subject matter is human trafficking.
