                                        Movie: Taken

                                        Genres: Action/Adventure, Art/Foreign, Drama and Thriller

                                        Running Time: 1 hr. 34 min.

                                        Release Date: January 30th, 2009 (wide)

                                        MPAA Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, disturbing thematic material, sexual content, some drug references and language.

                                        Distributors: 20th Century Fox Distribution

                                        Taken:

                                        I think this is one of the most exciting movies that I have seen since the Borne series. I will try not to spoil the movie for you, but this guy (Played by Liam Neeson) does everything necessary to get his child back. You can easily see the parallels between this guy and Christ (not all the way, but close enough). He puts everything on the line to get back the one he loves. Because such an extreme thing happens to his daughter, he goes to extremes to get her back (like Christ did, because of the extreme thing that has happened to the world, called "SIN"). SIN is something that destroyed the relationships between God and Humanity, God and Creation, Creation and Humanity. So God sent his son to do the extreme: die for us when he did not have to, in order to save us from the extremes of SIN and death.

                                        This was a great movie. Men, I would strongly suggest that you take someone you like, and at the end of the movie, tell that person "I would do everything he did to get you back."
