Unexpectedly Good Movie!

hi,
so,last wednesday,after a class with Mr. Derick had been cancelled,I went back home, and watch this unexpectedly great movie....the title is ....Taken!
Although I hesitated at first to watch it since there was a handful of homeworks needed to be done,but after some thinking,I decided that I need some distressing moment...
So,I watched it,and it is nothing like I have expected,I thought that it was going to be the lame action stereotypical movie,but I was certainly wrong.






Taken is a story about the danger when two 17 year old girl went to a vacation trip all around Europe(although in the movie only involve Paris).That is what happen when Kim (Maggie Grace) and Amanda (Katie Cassidy) traveled together and socialize with strangers without knowing no boundaries..They just "judge a book by it's cover" when they decided to share a cab with a cute stranger with his sexy accent whom they just met at the airport....and they ended up being abducted and are forced to be a prostitute..When I say "forced",I mean to say that they are being injected with drugs,even when they were doing the sexual relationship...which is gross and very inhumane...



Now,the interesting part of the story is that the father of one of the girls,which is the brilliant actor Liam Neeson(as Bryan),is actually a retired CIA officer who fortunately still has the edges to strike and kick ass like Silvester Stallon does in "Rambo 3"...He love his daughter very much and he is capable of killing anyone who dares to stop his way in finding his daughter.Ironically, Bryan initially feel bad about letting her daughter to travel with her friend,as his experience as a CIA officer taught him the "darkside" of the world.But,because her daughter wanted to go so much,he just let her go(although he knows that his daughter is lying to him by telling him she is only going to Paris)




The best part of the story is all about the action.All the fighting,explosion,car flying over a road towards a yacht,jumping from a bridge,simply sends stimulation to my brain to develop the feeling of over-excitement! However,do you realize in some action packed movies, where there's nothing that can stop the hero,and the hero never dies,even in a situation whereby there are 10 people shooting bullets at him.It's really unrealistic and unlogical right?well, unfortunately,this movie is no different..the father seems to be a very lucky person since he can escape every single bullet triggered towards him.

What shocked me is that even in Paris, there are crazy people who are smuggle in women, addicting them to drugs,and BOOM! they are prostitutes.. and also the fact they bid on all of the smuggled women in a 5-star hotel! This shows how big the prostitutes business are..It struck through my mind now of how unfortunate the life of all the girls who had been involved in such case in the real world..It has never been their choice,they are just trying to stay alive,to keep living, hoping that someday someone would find them and pull them out of their misery...


Back to the movie,overall,it's better than I had expected,and a good movie to see on a peaceful Saturday night...that's all for now,HAPPY WEEKENDS :)
