"Taken" is a fast-moving and mostly entertaining thriller. It's very much like the "Bourne" series of movies but its main character Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) is pulled back into the mayhem of his old profession through some convenient occurrences involving his teenage daughter. As I think about it a little more the events that occur are actually amazingly convenient in establishing an excuse for Bryan to take action and make him even more determined by using his daughter's abduction to make it personal too. There is nothing wrong with the action sequences. They are quite involving even though I don't quite buy Neeson as this type of action hero. Qui-Gon Jinn yes...Jason Bourne II not so much. Neeson's character Bryan is borderline indestructible here and his powers of deduction require a real leap of faith to truly enjoying this movie. I can't make this leap entirely which knocks "Taken" down a couple of notches for me.
