Well, Bryan makes a lot of mess. That's what he does, you see. Bryan's a former 'covert operative', highly trained at 'preventing' and has seen some action in the Middle East in fighting the Hezbollah among many other factions in other unsettled parts of the world. But now he's retired so that he can spend more time in LA with his 17-year-old daughter, who lives with his ex-wife and her new super-rich husband. Daughter goes to Paris with a girlfriend, they get kidnapped within hours of arriving and Daddy takes it upon himself to get her back, all on his own, against seemingly impossible odds.

This started out as what appeared to be a welcome return to the screens of an intelligent thriller. There aren't enough of those these days and I relished the chance to see a very good actor in a well-scripted, suspense-filled movie. I thought I was on to a winner, but very soon after Bryan arrives in Paris the whole mood and impression of the film changed; the dialogue became next to meaningless (most of what is there is somewhat stereotyped) and it quickly descends - or ascends, you could argue - into a fast, action-packed thriller of a more violent kind. I must admit that it was done well, it satisfied the base human need for retribution but it didn't make me think very much. The pace of the hunt and pursuit across Paris was well choreographed and the violence was uncompromising and bordering on the gratuitous, but once again this did satisfy at a basic revenge-fuelled level. It's just that I had expected something more intellectually challenging given the tasters of the first twenty minutes or so. Instead it quickly transforms itself into a veritable orgy of snapped necks, point-blank shootings and the ubiquitous decapitation to conclude a car-chase.

On paper, Liam Neeson would appear to be an unusual choice to play the heatseeking missile of a man locked onto rescuing his daughter from sex trafficking Albanian hoodlums in Paris. He soon dispels any doubts with a masterful display of pent up vengeance and calmly brutal expertise with cars, guns, knives and fists. Once the kidnap has taken place it's non-stop action as he uses his CIA field skills to track down the baddies and start terminating them with extreme prejudice. Whilst the villains are crudely drawn, the violence is never cartoonish, being from the Bourne school of realism. Okay, it's not the most densely plotted or sophisticated of films, but the pace is relentless and Neeson dominates the screen without ever trying too hard. Highly recommended.

By @GeekZilla9000 TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 22 July 2011
Format: Blu-ray
After a career which distanced from his family, former CIA officer Bryan Mills hopes his retirement will finally allow him to build bridges with his daughter and become more involved in her life - though he probably never expected this...

On a holiday to France, Mills' daughter Kim goes missing and her father is witness to the event via the phone call they are having at the time. Even while his daughter is on the phone about to be abducted he instructs her, after being absent in her life for so long he's finally there when she needs him. Armed with little information he flies over to Paris to try and find his her, the film follows Mills' actions as he fights deep into the criminal underworld in order to keep the promise he made to his daughter - to bring her back home. His methods are frequently violent and often ingenious, focussed solely on his daughter he has little regard for anyone else and he leaves a trial of broken limbs behind him.

'Taken' works well as an action-thriller. The main protagonist isn't a muscle-bound hero, he's a middle-aged guy who wouldn't look out of place behind you in the queue at Tesco - but he's calculating, in control, clever - and that makes him dangerous. The film stretches plausibility and the overall cast isn't all that convincing, but Liam Neeson is perfectly cast and he grounds the film, he may be cold and show little emotion - but small nuances give away the emotional drive behind this fathers quest. This is fast paced and the inventiveness of this thriller ensures that it remains gripping, you never know what move Mills will make next. His mental agility is equally as impressive as his physical capabilities but Taken has its weaknesses.

A surprise US blockbuster hit, Pierre Morel's Taken is another slick thriller from Luc Besson's French production line that delivers what it promises far more effectively than most. The plot is simplicity itself, a straight-line narrative with no diversions as Liam Neeson's ex-secret agent tracks down the people-traffickers who kidnapped his daughter in Paris by the tried-and-trusted method of killing almost everyone he meets and torturing those he doesn't kill - before killing them as well. In between killing most of France's Albanian immigrant population he also shows he's an equal opportunities avenger by killing a few Arabs, the odd American and even shooting a former French friend's wife in the arm to persuade him to hand over some politically sensitive information. All of which should be a lot more obnoxious than it actually is were it not so well executed (executed being a particularly appropriate word) and if it left you long enough to think, but it moves fast enough and stages its action well enough (no shakeycam or excessive MTV editing here, thankfully) with just enough mild ingenuity between the violence to make for an entertaining hard-edged action movie that plays like a somewhat more down to Earth combination of Schwarzenegger's Commando (minus the Village People-style villain) and a Continental version of Ashanti (it even ends with a fight on another sheik's boat). Silly and probably reprehensible, but far too entertaining with it to complain about.

Although the audio commentary from the French DVD hasn't been carried over to the UK release, it does include a decent selection of featurettes and a good 2.35:1 widescreen transfer.
