This is my experience with the delicious (deliiiisioooos) Taken (the original)
Liam Neeson kicking/burning/blasting his way through France hell bent on locating his kidnapped virgin progeny (hence sold for super-duper-dollars and kept the movie going at least a solid 15 mins longer. Yay!)
I loved it.. loved the role of the unwilling building-blasting good guy who has taken on Everyone.. friends. foes. frenemies (eh).. and RESCUES the unfortunate child who chose to share a cab with a woman-peddling-middleman.
I loved the action, the stunts.. and dare i mention again? the building blasting :D
So as can be imagined i had chained myself to the house to prevent self from watching Taken 2 in the theatres.. or maybe i just forgot to buy tickets in time.
but i was eagerly eagerly eaaaagerly waiting for the TV debut *beams*
my enthusiasm and definitely bright pink rose tinted glasses kept me from realising almost till the end.. Taken 2 was not well made. It had some glaaaaring flaws.. Liam now gets kidnapped with wife to pay for his sins of treating women-peddling-not-nice-people as scum and generally beating/kicking/electrocuting/burning uh. killing them. (after eliciting info ofcourse)
but these bada** uh seriously-meaning-business mafia dudes forget to frisk him for his cellphone (errr..ok. slick.)
SPOILER---- coming up--> so he Uses that phone to guide his daughter (who escaped.. yay) to find him and drop a pistol down the chimney where he was trapped (thanks to mommy dear)
now .. this is LIAM.
he can turn your weapon against you and you and you.. and use it to make a jumbo weapon to smack you on your head with (ok, that may not have happened)..
but regardless.. it doesn't make SENSE LIAM (i wail)!!
so i looked up a few reviews post watching.. keywords being "taken 2, not so good?"
and the line that best sums up the experience and made me Laugh-out-Loud (a feeling i am most partial to) was
Go into Theatres and Liam comes up to say "your money has just been TAKEN"
da.da.da.dum!!...(sound effects mine)
hahaha.. i dont know.. it made Me laugh :D
i havent gone into too many details but if you found this page.. you could surely google.. or as someone i know says .. googal kardo :)
(no one says that.. i say that.. no one says that)
LOVE!
