Taken
Action thrillers can really keep viewers on the edge of their seats, and one such movie, Taken, is due to follow up on its French February 27th release by opening in the U.S. on September 19th. Directed by Pierre Morel it stars Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen and others.
The movie revolves around a teenager, Kim (Maggie), whose parents, Bryan and Lenore (Neeson & Janssen), are divorced. Kim lives with her mother and her new husband, and during the summer decides with a friend take a vacation in Europe where they hope to follow the European leg of a tour by U2.
Kim knows she can easily get permission from her mother, but that Bryan might not allow her. Wikipedia details what happens after.
In Paris a seemingly friendly young man proposes to share a taxi with them to the house where Kim and her friend are staying, and so they do. However, the man works for a criminal organisation of Albanians to which he reports the address.
In the house, while the friend is being abducted, Kim happens to have her father on the phone. He tells her to hide under a bed and to tell him as much as possible about the abductors, which she does while being pulled from under the bed. She is sold at an auction to a sheik as a sex slave.
Bryan who was a secret agent in the past flies to France to save daughter’s life.
Enjoy the trailer.
