Good movie.

I guess Cos would rather his action "heros" hug the villains into a sleep state, then slowly creep from the room. (The "villains" being universally accepted bad-guy templates, like Nazis. Or better yet, American rednecks!) Good movie. I guess Cos would rather his action “heros” hug the villains into a sleep state, then slowly creep from the room.

The movie is so based on vulgar Hollywood's templates of bad and good guys; of a teenager girl, acting like an imbecile; of how good guys are being hurt but are grabbing their butts and fighting back. And of course the good guy has to fight bad guys driving all-times-best Jeep SUV. Also a business is totally inhumane; corrupted Euro-police is so on their side; only US gov's dude (which happens to be a good and carrying father, despite his 'never being there for the family and serving people' job description) is capable of stopping such a shameless cartel. Et cetera. However something new got on the surface: now good guys are allowed to torture the bad ones. And no wonder where the skills were acquired: the good dude is former spy. What a twist! A perverted producer/director of the movie doesn't think that simply killing the crooks is enough now: they have to suffer before hand. Is it the vapors of Guantanamo that clouding their brains? In short: the movie is full of politicized crap, nonsenses, and foul movie stamps.

Not that it's his greatest performance or anything, but I was surprised by just how effective he was in a role like this. Chris - I didn't notice that oddity. How unusual!

If it wasn't for Leeson, this film would be completely disposable. I still cannot get over the fact this film was written by Luc Besson & Robert Mark Kamon (screenwriter of the KARATE KID trilogy), and they give them credit above the title but after the director? What the hell was that all about??? Chris :) I saw TAKEN this past weekend too, and pretty much agree with everything you say. If it wasn’t for Leeson, this film would be completely disposable.
