Taken is one of the best movies ever. The director did a good job. It's one of those movies you can see over and over again. I love it.
One of the best modern movies out there in my opinion. It's got a good moral that's easy to understand: if you screw with a responsible parent's children, they will bite back. The pacing is perfect, and the action is very enjoyable, but doesn't completely take over the engrossing story and excellent acting.
