Taken: Liam comes out of retirement as an action star . . .

Maybe he has Stathamitis, who knows? But, this script (co-authored by Besson) packed a lot of action and some real bits of ultra-violence into an enjoyable feature.

Classic story: Good guy has daughter abducted by evil guys. Good guy is a former CIA black ops guy and knows the ropes. The chase is on from America to Paris. Neeson plays the new "Dirty Harry" gone Eurotrash as he punishes dirty Albanians, crooked cops, and dirty A-rabs.

Neeson did a good job of being an action guy which is totally unlike his former screen persona. He was a loving father who did whatever it took to finds his daughter who was being white-slaved including some bits of torture or out-of-character infliction of pain. You can't help but cheer him in his "righteous" quest for his 17 year old girl.

Grab a bag of corn and a big coke and have some fun.
