Taken Movie Review - The title single, simple film

For those familiar with the process, as a movie studio has the green light, you probably know what a "treatment" are. For the uninitiated, there is a brief synopsis of the film is proposed. Usually a bit 'longer and more detailed structure, but not as detailed as long as a script. You can reach any part of a series of short paragraphs to several pages. For the winners, the treatment could have been written on the back of a matchbox.It is not always a bad thing, sometimes simple is better. By winning the case, I'm not sure.

The entire film is essentially summarized in the trailer, in which Liam Neeson's character has a conversation with the kidnappers of his daughter, Maggie Grace of Lost played. Alternatively, said no ransom, but an individual, make it a nightmare for the people of competence "that he and Hunt. That's it. Thisthe film. This is an exhibition, and this is exactly what happened in the movie.

No words, no complicated subplots espionage and significant character development. There is no attempt made the film for you to believe or think something else is happening in the formula is as follows:

1. His father was scrubbed
2. Father threat of the kidnappers
3. Father is a kidnapper / bad
4. Father kills the kidnapper / bad
5. Back3 and repeat steps until all of the kidnappers dead.

Yes, I admit, sometimes kills more than one person, but it was. There are very few "fun" with the trip. First, all the action sequences are fast cutting camera style nuts. If done well, as in the Bourne films, or in Quantum of Solace, is very effective. Winning has not done very well. The sequences are a bit 'boring, hard to follow, and leaves, is really beyond the scope of the eventnormal human ability to process information.

The camera work is so crazy that my wife had the theater, you go to the bathroom in a fit of illness, a reaction that is not a movie, the sequence of the invasion of Playa done in Saving Private Ryan with the action shutter speed. Of course, you are a coward and has difficulty with too much on the screen.

The site itself is so little love. The only thing that seems always in the middle, could be a "sub-field has beenin the first 10 minutes and a house more or less the last 5 or no mention of significant between the two.

All this adds incredible stock average child. There is little convincing beyond the strong performance of the kind we usually see Liam Neeson.

I really could not say, for some reason, interesting casting choice as the winner Liam Neeson recommended bad ass action hero, but this does notcomposed of a thin film.
