A Father Against Another Father

Producer Luc Besson and director Pierre Morel’s “Taken” wasn’t a perfect film. However, it was a solid action thriller that served up a good protagonist, strong forward momentum, good action, chase sequences and some clever twists that drove its pace and plot. I guess one may say that such a film should be a ‘one-timer’ since really, there really isn’t much one can do with the concept of “Taken”. But I guess Luc Besson with new director Oliver … more

A Quick Tip by woopak_the_thrill

After the first movie which may be the ultimate "father's day" movie to watch, Liam Neeson reprises his role for a sequel. I want to see where they can take the character into this time.
