Taken

"Taken" is a great movie! I love this movie so much mainly because of the main character. Liam Neeson played the character Bryan Mills in this movie. His performance was great, but the unique characteristics he possessed in this movie were incredible! The story line was great as well. A quick summary of the movie would go a little something like this: Bryan Mills had been divorced from his wife whom he had a daughter with. His daughter, Kim, wanted to go on a trip to Europe with her best friend. She told her father, Bryan Mills, that it was to visit some art museums when in reality it was to follow a rock band around on their tour. Her mother knew the truth but they decided to lie to Bryan because they knew he wouldn't approve of the truth and he was required to approve of it because she was under-aged and was leaving the country. They're plan was successful as he approved of her going. When they had gotten to the airport, Bryan had ran across a map of the tour of the rock band Kim and her friend planned on following and he was furious. Nevertheless, he let her go anyways. The mother, Lenore, thought that Bryan was being too up tight on Kim and she yelled at him for not letting his daughter live her life how she wants to. So Kim went off to Europe. They got to their destination which was when Kim was supposed to call her dad, but she had forgot. Kim also told her father that she would be staying with two of her friends older cousins, but they really were the only two there. After calling her several times while the music was playing too loud in the house, she finally answered for her dad and went into another room. While in the other room she could see the room her friend was in through the glass. In the middle of her phone conversation, she saw three men come in the house and grab her bestfriend. Her dad told her to get under the bed and informed her that she would be taken next. This was my favorite part of the whole movie! One of the men who had kidnapped Kim picked up her phone and put it their ear. Without him even saying anything her father then said "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, then I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you". This is the most craziest thing I have ever heard someone say on a movie and that is now my favorite quote of all time from a movie. When he said that, I knew from then and there that this movie was going to be great. His skills were indeed very unique and he had the ability to do all that it took to go to Europe and get his daughter back and kill any and everyone who stood in his way. He did just that in a spectacular fashion. The scenes in this movie were really graphic and extravagant. Overall, this was an excellent movie and I will always remember it.
