French thriller !


Hi everybody,

Small riddle!!! I would like that you look at this short video.



  
Do you know what this movie is?

I’m sure that the majority of you, has already seen this movie and you recognize “Taken”. For others, I’m sure that now, you want to see this movie to know if Bryan (Liam Neeson) managed to find his daughter.

So, today I’m going to talk about “Taken”, a French film which is directed by Pierre Morel. It is not the same kind of movie as “Very Bad Trip”, because “Taken” isn’t a comedy but a thriller. Released in 2008, it had a great success and I want to share it with you because the story is fascinating and it reaches a varied public. Young people can learn from it and identify with Kim’s story. The parents will necessarily be touched by the story of this father who tries to find his daughter by all possible means.

Indeed, Bryan who is in Los Angeles attends powerless by phone in the kidnapping of his daughter who is in Paris. It is a nightmare for him, who was a former agent of the American secret services. He has only few hours to extract Kim (Maggie Grace) from a gang specialized in the trade of women.

Through this movie you’ll discover “clichés” on the trade of women, but you will also find Paris under another day, no romanticism! The different actions make my flesh creep! I was surprised with this movie, because I often find the French thrillers are boring and simple. Here, the scriptwriter, “Luc Besson” made me change my opinion. It is one of the best French movies for me. I recommend it to you.

However “Taken” is a movie which divides the public. Generally, the press attributes it poor mark while the audience is fan. The criticism that I can bring, concerns its ending. This one is a little bit predictable.

What do you think about this movie?

  2. This movie is fantastic and very beautiful , the relationship between the father and his daughter is so beautiful ! The different scenes are spectacular !
    But I find that the movie Taken 2 was very similar than the first and it is too bad I would have wanted to see another story !

  6. Hello ! I love this kind of movies. There is suspens for the whole movie and a lot of action ! Taken is one of the best of this category (I think I can mention also "Le Transporteur"), the film is well made. It keeps your atention for the whole movie with a realistic history. It shows you what a father is able to do for his daughter. In this film you can also see how the mafias work. I have seen Taken 2 and I can say that it is too similar with the first. Why not to make a trilogy ?
