Taken is such a refreshing change from the usual Hollywood fare of bashing fathers and Americans most of us are used to.
In Taken the good guy is an American former CIA (or similar) father, and all the bad guys are either French, Albanian, or Muslim. A father who is a former CIA agent pursues the French and Albanian kidnappers who took his daughter for the purpose of selling her into forced prostitution. The movie is engrossing and action-packed. There are some disturbing images of torture and young women in compromised positions, so it is not suitable for the young. Other than that, enjoy!
