Wow. And wow again. Hour and a half of adrenaline rush - Liam Neeson as ex CIA tracking down his daughter kidnapped by Albanian sex traffickers in Paris. Recommended if you like an all action movie. But, for those who've see it, how much is true do you reckon?

Hmmm.... was expecting great things from Taken, and came away feeling it was distinctly average.

In Bruges however was truly excellent.

Actually, this is the last film I saw at the flix - loved it. Don't know how much of it's true; trafficking's not really my field, TBH!

i really enjoyed this film aswell. Liam Neeson was great in it, until he had to shout, then his accent poked out a little.

As for how much of it is true? you mean the sex traffic trade? i can't imagine its that bad, but there has to be some sort of truth to situations these girls get into...someone can't make that stuff up.

Great film. Neeson performed his usual convincing role. But as said, the accent did slip a coupe of times. Nevertheless, a great flick.

I really liked it. Proper popcorn fodder.

In Bruges is a classic though. Lots of good lines. "Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf. I think I'm heading home. "

Followed by the karate chop on the midget!! laugh


Taken is good!

Whilst she's on the phone to him at the beginning, just before they take her. He's so calm and relaxed!!

Plenty of action aswell!

I thought it was a great action film when I saw it at the cinema, been waiting for someone I know to buy it on Bluray and borrow it...


And In Bruges is an excellent film too!
