Yeah, Taken was absolutely a fantastic movie- one of the best I have seen in a long time!

The action scenes weren't corny or too over the top, relatively believable (especially in comparison to a lot of other action movies/chase scenes etc etc)

It seems like this movie got a load of bad reviews when it came out. I personally enjoyed it. The story was meh, but I understand it was supposed to be a dark comedy and it pulled it off well, IMO. The Cusack siblings usually have me laughing, and they didn't disappoint me this time. And I thought Hillary Duff actually did a decent job with the acting (but not the accent...good lord). I'd give it a 7/10.

^ Does Hillary Duff put a scorpion down her pants in this movie?

Yep, that would be the movie.

Says mr Akira was badly animated and Stephen Daldry is a good director.

Co-signed, movie of the hour. I wasn't expecting anything with that much hype to live up to it, similar to the Dark Knight. It wasn't a bad film by any stretch of the imagination though and I would probably sling it a 7 since I'm in a generous mood. Liked the soundtrack (apart from MIA, she gets on my nerves for many reasons), the children were impressive but I've seen much more gut-wrenching examples in Indian cinema - where you weren't conscious you were watching one long build-up to a feel-good ending.
Much was made of Danny Boyle's gritty realism (again) but this of course just translates as shakey cameras and on-location shooting, so I don't understand what all the fuss was about. I won't bother watching this again for a few years. Apologies in advance to anyone who is offended by me not sharing their opinion!
