Taken

Seventeen year-old Kim is everything to her father, Bryan Mills. Bryan is a retired agent who left the Central Intelligence Agency to be near his daughter Kim  in California. Kim lives with her mother Lenore and her rich stepfather Stuart. Kim gets her strict yet aware father to allow her to go to Paris with her friend Amanda. Bryan was totally against her going. She had to lie to him that she was going to go look at art when she was there. She was actually going to follow her favoite band, but she managed to do it.

When the girls arrive in Paris they allow this guy named Peter take a picture of them. They also share a cab with the stranger,  Peter.  Amanda lets it slip that they will be alone in Paris. With this information an Albanian gang of human traffickers kidnaps the girls. While she sees her friend Amanda get taken, Kim barely has time to her father and give him the information. Her father got to speak to one of the kidnappers for a little bit  and he promises to kill the kidnappers if they do not let his daughter go free. The kidnapper wishes him "good luck,"  so Bryan Mills travels to Paris to search for his daughter and her friend. He uses his intellegence and his CIA skills to find his daughter, although some say may think he had superpowers, we think it was a mixture of both! We give this movie a 5 out of 5. It had a good story line and we really liked all the action, we also think the genre of this movie is suspense and action!
The Director was: Pierre Morel Writers: Luc Besson, Robert Mark Kamen, and we think they did a great job!

 Therisingaction of this movie is when the girls get kidnapped. Once Bryan got off the phone with his daughter he was on his way to Paris. He recorded the conversation. When he got to the place where they were staying he walked around tying to find where the girls got taken. The climax of this movie was when he was killing everyone and finding all the clues to get his daughter. He killed alot of people and did what ever he could to find her. He played alot of mindless tricks on the bad guys so they couldnt find him. The failng action was when he found his daughter and went on the ship to get her. He killed most of the people on that ship. When he got to the room that she was in, a big guy had a knife to her throat. Bryan killed him and saved his daughter. She said. "you came for me."

The ending of this movie was very predictable. We figured that the girl was going to be safe. All in all we really liked this movie and we gave it a 5 out of 5. We really thought it was a good movie and very intertaining.  It also gave us a different outlook towards the world and made us aware. When you think about the situations that brain was in and his training and killing/hurting of all the people do you think what was virtuous? or was he just getting what he wanted? Now ask yourself what is virture?
