Quote:

An ex-soldier (Liam Neeson) traveling through Europe embarks on a frantic quest to rescue his daughter (Maggie Grace) after the young girl is abducted by slave traders in District B13 director Pierre Morel's period drama. Robert Mark Kamen joins the screenwriting team which also includes Morel and longtime collaborator Luc Besson, who also produces.

The new international trailer for Taken has just hit the net, and I don't know about you, but I'd like to ask 20th Century Fox to please set up a domestic release date for this flick because it looks pretty damn good. I mean, heck, Liam Neeson plays a badass! That should be more than enough to get you interested in Taken, which comes to us from director Pierre Morel (whose District B13 was a fun watch). Taken stars Neeson, Maggie Grace and Holly Valance, and it revolves around an ex-soldier (Neeson) whose daughter (Grace) gets kidnapped while traveling in Paris, and his subsequent quest to find her, as well as those responsible for her disappearance.

So far, Fox has set a February 27th release date in France, but nothing here in the states. Not sure why; the film looks intense, well acted and definitely the kind of flick I could see doing well in early March before the summer madness begins. Check out the trailer above, and let us know what you think. (Personally, I've never been so afraid of Liam Neeson in my entire life. Damn. And he's the good guy!)

It's to be released in the US eventually, hopefully sooner. But I have to say that Liam Neeson just kicks ass. I'm also looking forward to his Lincoln film.

Looks brilliant, Liam Neeson kicks ass.

Doesn't look "OMFG!", but it sure does look damn good. I can't wait.

Didn't want to necro a thread, but I just saw this today, and wow....what a badass movie. Liam Neeson basically spends the entire movie beating the shit out of everyone. I'd like to say he's very Jack Bauer-esque, but that term really doesn't do him justice. Definately a must-watch.

Just watched it. This guy is like Rambo, lots of over the top action, it's a great movie.

Watched it last week. It was nice but nothing I'd buy on DVD afterwards.
"The International" was much more like it.

The_Finn · March 22nd, 2009, 7:05 PM

The movie was a waste of Liam... His acting talent goes far beyond walking around beating people up. That being said if the exposure he gets from this movie allows him to get more better leading roles than good on him. The movie itself was enjoyable and the main character is one hard motherfucker not so much badass just very focused on getting what he needed from people by any means necessary. I do wish there was a bit more intrigue or meat to the working his way up the food chain aspect of the move (payback does this really well) and finally the ending was kinda cheesy but what you gonna do... over all i think it's worth a view be it matinee or rental but you definitely want to see it unedited for TV. Also i want to have sex with maggie grace
