ME?

"TAKEN"


"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." 



My movie-buff heart melted when I heard that oh-so instant classic dialogue. sigh. It's too good of a line. I mean, as short and non-appealing this may sound; that threat/resume signifies the whole damn movie. 

At first, I started the movie with the thought of watching Liam Neeson act. I like him. But, throughout the intro with the bday home-video flashbacks, I kept refering to him as QUI-GON. Little did I know, that he was going to kick Albanian ass with solid performance as an actor, on the side. And he did it really well, too. 

Even before the trigger of a gun could be seen on screen and things start to explode, Liam Neeson glued me to the screen. Seriously, he's a saint in the form of a performer for old aged actors who still have the 'action hero' still in 'em.  

Even though he's not Matt Damon from the Bourne trilogy,or Daniel Craig, but he's Liam Neeson in TAKEN. respect, liam.
