Neeson takes Taken

[블라스]

This movie was more badass than a lightsaber-wielding cowboy samurai riding a fire-breathing white shark with wings, killing Nazis in his way while listening to AC/DC.

Heh
When is this going to get a theatrical release in the US/Canadaland?

 

[dark_b]

this looks like 100% badass movie. but it looks like it wont come out in my theater.

 

[Hunter Rider]

It's released here today, I am gonna try to check it out soon, all the reviews so far say it's garbage.

Those reviewers are pu$$ies who can't deal with this much ass-kickery.

they said it was just mindless nastiness, my Dad wants to see it anyway so I'll be going.

 

[JackBauer]

Yep, a pu$$y would definitely say that.

Cool. Just a heads up: no one surfs an F-25 jet in this one.

It's probably one dimensional and has no plot, but I was sold on this flick as soon as Neeson start his Death Wish style guarantee.

 

[Cinemaman]

I still wonder why most of reviews are so negative

 

[블라스]

Because those critics hate fun, badass movies.

i expect a very cliche movie. but so what..

neeson is a badass in this one. i want to see him go robert de niro and kill those mutherf...

 

[Hunter Rider]

So there is more to it than a guy torturing his way through bad guys for 90 minutes ?

Cool. Just a heads up: no one surfs an F-25 jet in this one.

That's ok, i was expecting more "realistic" type Bourne stuff.

 

[JackBauer]

Of course!! He also shoots, breaks bones and kicks asses. What more could you want from a movie?!

GOOD!

So not a character film then ?

GOOD!

I put realistic in brackets b/c Bourne's action is about as realistic as my chances of nailing Anne Hathaway. .........

 

[JackBauer]

Actually it's that too. Neeson also punches people in the f***in head emotionally. The movie has it all.

C'mon, Bourne's not THAT bad. You're talking MI2 amounts of unreal.

 

[SatEL]

This is an awesome movie, great fun oh and bump.

 

[The Sage]

Entertaining movie. Fight scenes were better than the ones in the Batman movies. Neeson rocks!

 

[Master Chief]

It's a typical thriller but the no-nonsense brutality got me off. :heart:

Spoiler

Loved it when he finally caught up with Marko.

 

[Spider-Mania2]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE.

Neeson was a one man wrecking crew, I'm not even sure which death i liked the most.

 

[Vapor]

Me and my mate decided we had to see this based purely on the trailer with Neeson doing his little "I don't know who you are but I will find you.. and kill you" thing.. 'cos it was just so absurd and funny cos it's Liam bloody Neeson..

Anyway the movie is ok.. Kind of a more realistic XXX or Transporter I guess, in a way that you can imagine this guy doing all this.. But I don't think I could really take the movie quite so seriously because the whole time it was just Liam Neeson, it's not the type of thing you expect to see him in.. So I couldn't decide if it really worked or not.

Anyway, Neeson does kick ass even if he does look a little old and haggard (maybe that's what they were going for) and there's some alright action pieces and the story ain't that bad. The best way I could probably sum it up is - it's a fun movie.. but it's fun in the same way as having sex with your cousin.. yes it's sex but it's just not right.

I laughed out loud when the henchmen opened the door and the shot went off at the party.

 

[Matt]

For the love of God, when does this get a US release!?!

 

[The Sage]

January 30th according to IMDB.

 

[Rac]

This was a very good action movie! Neeson was more badass than Seagal ever were.
