Taken Trailer

By Doug - February 5, 2008 - 12:30 America/Montreal

Liam Neeson plays an ex-spy that comes out of retirement in order to find his kidnapped daughter! This looks pretty fantastic, and what an outstanding cliffhanger for a trailer!

    Looks great. The trailer should have shown more of Famke Janssen!

  2. Kevin C says:

    Ummm, that looks AWESOME! I love movies like this…

  3. Frank says:

    That looks sweet. Neeson rocks.

  4. Tim says:

    Okay, I hadn’t heard of this at all yet, but, FUCK YEAH. That looks pretty kickass and I cannot wait to hear more about this now.

    Seems to harken back to those older action movies, can’t really think of a particular name for them (maybe like the Harrison Ford/Tom Clancy novel based movies?). Daughter gets kidnapped in Europe (forced into prostitution maybe), father goes after bad guys. Kicks their asses gets daughter back; the end. The plot appears to be pretty standard. Still that trailer was masterfully cut. If the action holds up, I’m game.

    This just jumped to my anticipation list. Great freaking trailer!

    “I like you Sully. That’s why I’m going to kill you last…”

  9. Anderton says:

    Looks great (I love Famke & Liam) sure BUT this a LUC Besson’s production (Danny The Dog, The Transporter…) so the trailer may be better than the movie…

    damn….looks great…..i loved the “good luck” part most movie trailers will just end with the father sayin im going to find u…..bad ass

    This looks awsome, I never pictured Liam Neeson as a badass but he DEFINATLY fits the part.

  12. J.P. says:

    @Anderton: Oh Yes!… That guy Luc Besson… is that the idiot behind the trailer-better-than-movie of Leon (AKA The Professional)? Or Nikita? Crimson Rivers 1&2? The Fifth Element? Subway?

    Oh then I should not see this movie.

    wow. that’s how you cut a trailer.

  14. chris (the real one) says:

    i actually liked the professional….but the others…….i see ur point…the trailer was really good tho…

  15. takata says:

    Great movie! A must see. It drew a huge crowd last night as the theatre was packed!

    One of the most racist films to be produced in America over the last year. Simple story line – young white US virgin goes on holiday to Paris (France) but is kidnapped for the sex trade by those evil Russians, who pass her on to the even more evil Albanians, who sell her off to the source of evil, a rich Arab (of course!). Wonderful racial sterio typing – the sort the nazis perfected 60 years ago.

    Of course our all American hero – the girls father – kills and tortures his way though each of the gangs to save his daughter – still intact.

    Dreadful film!
