Taken (2008) #39 of 50

Thrill makers: He’s got skills.

Show Notes

This week we watched Liam Neeson pick up his mantle of action hero in 2008s Taken. It’s surprisingly paced and full of short effective fights that make up a satisfying action movie. Maggie Grace is a believable, if too resilient teen, and Famke Jansen is a terrible co-parent, rounding out a typical American family facing a sex-trafficking threat. Good thing he’s honed those skills. Recommendations: A Christmas Carol (the Muppets one on Disney + [and go the the special features to watch the full heartbreaking version] and the George C. Scott one on Paramount =); Rankin Bass Christmas specials which you should just by on physical media.
