'Taken' may be nonsense, but it's fun

Christy Lemire

The Associated Press

"Mindless? Sure. But at least it's mindlessly entertaining — and, blissfully, brief."

Delivers as promised

4 Stars

Unfathomable

"Taken is a very good action movie, with great pacing and good performances. Imagine Liam Neeson as an older Jason Bourne and you get the picture. The movie is rather short, but that is not a bad thing. It seems that at least one person in Hollywood believes longer is not always better, and in this case its true. Some movies like to pretend they're an action flick and fail to deliver, but that's not the case here. In this case, the action is delivered as promised."

" I am not sure what Sangjmoon means when she says the movie is "not for Bush haters". I don't really know what Bush has to do with this movie, but, like most of the world and most Americans who don't have their heads in the sand, I am not fond of Bush or what he has done to our Country, but I do like this movie. So there. It's a good, action-packed, enjoyable movie."

Really Good Movie

5 Stars

Critical Contemplati

"This movies for us who are not professional movie crititcs but simply wants to be entertained was really good. It was action packed and I really liked Neesom's character's ability to have vulnerable feelings for his family but stay on task...to the bad guys' dismay. :-) Not for Bush haters: you screen name and comments are silly. I was not a Bush supporter but understand (1) this is a movie and (2) due was operating OUTSIDE of the government's system. "

"I went into the theater with no expectations and i absolutely loved Taken! I fully reccommend it to anyone who wants to see a good thriller. Maggie Grace's (25) portrayal of her character Kim (17) is a little young but the audience soon forgets that"
