I Told You I Would Find You
I finally got around to seeing Taken and it's seriously amazing. I recommend it to everyone. The action is well filmed and has the intensity of Bourne without being ridiculous or in stupid fast or slow motion for no reason. The characters have genuine motivations and emotions, they don't bother dumbing down the reaction they SHOULD have because, hey, it's Hollywood, everyone likes mercy and restraint. I looked at the run time and was surprised to see it clocks in at just under an hour and a half, however it doesn't feel too long or too short at all. I think the best part is that it never goes over the top. You think it's going to, it approaches the edge, and then slides gently back into reality.
Go watch it. Go on.
Go watch it. Go on.
