Taken

#1

Post by AYHJA »

Another movie with seemingly endless amounts to promote...

I like Liam...I think he's a good actor...But I doubt if he's a stretch from his real life persona...So, I have doubts about this one...I'm not sure I'm convinced he can do these physical type roles, and the premise for this one...I don't think it's as promising as The Professional...

He's into Daniel Craig/Matt Damon territory with this kind of film I think but those two kick SO much ass...I hope Master Qui Gonn has it in him...

If it blows major goat, it'll be due more likely to the story sucking more than anything & that damn shakycam crap so many 'action' movies are using these days. I still have to see Neeson turd one up performancewise.

when is the release date? I thought I saw that it was near my b-day... so i just may have to go and see this one. If I do, you'll get my review here.

I think one of my favorites of the "kidnap - rescue/revenge" style movies was 1988's under-rated Harrison Ford flick, Frantic.

...but I could be biased.... I like Mr. Ford and tend to forgive him has bad movies choices....

Air Force One was da bombay! He should be whacked for shite like Firewall & Indy IV though.
As far as Neeson, homeboy hasn't done any kinda action since Batman Begins. He tore it up in Kinsey though actingwise.

Yeah Liam can do no wrong in movies as far as I'm concerned...although Kinsey was pretty close...bleh! But the guy is Master Qui Gon and Ra's Al Ghul for Chris's Sake!

Michael Collins? Of course not! I'd be drummed outa being Irish if I hated on that movie. The Kinsey thing just was an uneasy movie and I'll leave it at that so as not to offend anyone. ;)

Y'know what? Taken was aiiite. I saw it last night as work was slow as shit so my boss said we should duck out to the flicks which is 2min from the orifice. Opening minutes kinda dragged..then shit kicked into gear. Shit wasn't cliched like I thought it was gonna be. Liam pistol-whipping niggas is always good for the soul. If you got a bit of free time go check it.
