What a great movie. Dude was like Jack Bauer's Dad. Man, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

The funniest thing about those types of movies is that they kill all the minions without any remorse, then hesitate, or experience a twinge of conscience, when they finally get the bad guy and can't decide whether to kill him or let him live...

Thankfully, this was not one of those movies.

Nope. And when he was torturing the one guy, you knew he would still flip the switch after he got the information he needed. As it should be!

I guess its kinda like cigars. We all have our own opinions.

Fun to watch. Yes.

Exciting. Yes

Great movie?? I don't think so.

Taken was out all over the world last year and the Hollywood types had no faith in it. It was one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in a long time.The people in Hollywood really need to get their heads out of their collective butts.

It was a great get even and get ahead flick.....

Not really a great movie, but damn I really enjoyed watching him operate.

LOL about Jack Bauer's dad....I think they are close to the same age.

"You do not want to f--k with me, I have special skills, I will find you and I will kill you"

line went something like that, and it was a classic for this type movie.

I will look for you. I will pursue you. If you return my daughter, I will not look for you. But if I do, I will kill you.

I will agree, the script wasn't a work of art, but the film was a great adrenaline rush with non-stop action and a decent plot.

Here is the quote and it is hardassed with no profanity....:

Bryan: "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you".

Awesome as done in the best Jack Bauer...too long for an Eastwood threat, maybe Clive Owen could do this line, and too much explanation for Russell Crowe, but this is one of the great get even lines in movies.

Charlie

Indeed.

Great movie.

I really liked this movie......

That was one of the best action picture "lines" in a long time...... And as the picture progressed, you just knew it would happen.

5 thumbs up!!!!!

Just watched it again......the only thing I question is the timelines in the film...other than that it is a really good movie.

It has grossed over 120M at a production cost of around 30M.....

Charlie

Best thing about this movie was that they kept it real (for the most part). None of that firing double pistols BS or impossible moves. Just good solid technique from what I could tell. At the end where he waits for the fat sheik to relax to talk (thereby reducing the risk that his nervous reaction would cut her throat open) and then head shot him when he did was something you almost never see in one of these films.

Whoever was the technical adviser, he did a good job.

Only disappointment was that he let his friend live after he was betrayed by him.

It was business not personal........

Charlie

Remember, he handed over his friend's business card. Surely this will show the 'thugs' that his friend was involved in the overtaking of their operation. His friend will get his.

Sounds like the perfect venting movie for these rough times.

Looking forward to seeing it.

Adam saw it and said it was really a great action movie.

I have to wait until it comes out on DVD but I will be renting it day one (if possible).

Adam just came out to tell me he is going to the movies at midnight to see the first showing of "The Watchman".

Oh to be young again and actually think that would be fun. LOL!

Smoke a good one!

I'm looking forward to this movie when it comes out on DVD. As for the classic line, I think one of the hardest to beat was Denzel in Man on FIre where he is about to blow up the bad guy.

Fuentes: A last wish, please, please. Please.

Creasy: Last wish? I wish you had more time.

Taking my wife to see this today. We'll drop her car off for an oil change/tire rotation and go watch this.

Looking forward to it.
