Taken 720p Movies-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/qz83y -----------------------------------------A retired CIA agent travels across Europe and relies on his old skills to save his estranged daughter, who has been kidnapped while on a trip to Paris.Divorced and almost retired, former CIA agent Bryan Mills, struggles to spend more time with his only daughter, the 17-year-old lively Kim, yearning to bridge the gap between them. However, when Mills reluctantly gives his permission to let Kim and her friend Amanda travel to Paris, his fears will be justified as the two naive girls will get kidnapped on the same afternoon of their arrival, captured by a ruthless white-slavery ring. Now, the solitary seasoned veteran has less than 96 hours to rescue his daughter, and the clock is ticking. Can Mills make it against the well-prepared kidnappers?Very few action movies have a very strong emotional motive for the protagonist. The protagonist of "Taken" has a very strong emotional motive. He is after all trying to save his kidnapped daughter from a sex trafficking gang. The bad guys in "Taken" are lets say - pretty bad. They evoke no sympathy and it is a treat to see them smashed to pulp. Every blow, every bullet, every kick is slick, fast and if I can say so - extremely enjoyable. In Taken, it is fun to see someone really take on the bad guys and hand it to them in their own coin.
The plot is pretty predictable. Bryan's(Liam Nesson) daughter is kidnapped by an Albanian sex trafficking gang in Paris. Bryan, a former CIA agent, goes on a no holds barred rescue mission to save his daughter. All hell breaks loose- that is -for the bad guys. The body count is pretty high - my guess is that it is more than 50. No prizes for predicting the finale - the bad guys pay dearly - real bad, I must say.
The plot is not the highlight of the movie. The acting is good. Liam Nesson does a good job. This is often exactly the kind of role tailor made for Harrison Ford, but Liam Nesson does a neat job here. I am not a big fan of flash editing but it seems to work well in this movie. The action scenes like I said before are really good even though they are pretty violent.
I would give a movie like this a 6 out of 10 but I am inclined to give this movie a 8 just for sheer edge of seat engrossing action."I'm retired, but not dead", Brian Mills, a former CIA agent tells a friend in Paris when he can't understand how he manages to get any kind of information about anything. Mills, played by Liam Neeson with unstoppable force and as an old-fashioned vigilante who fears no one and kills everyone in every room he sets foot in; is in Paris because his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace, 25 and capturing the essence of a 17 year-old) was kidnapped by some Albanians while on vacation with a friend.
That's all about the plot, and even if you know how it ends, it's not everything about "Taken". It's no coincidence that Pierre Morel, the director of the movie, was the cinematographer of "The Transporter" and "Danny the Dog"; and of course it's less of a coincidence that Luc Besson, writer of those films, wrote this film (alongside Robert Mark Kamen, who also wrote 'Transporter') and produced it.
Besson never ceases to amaze me. This whole decade, he has created a new kind of action piece and reshaped it, again and again. I'm not sure if I know the exact formula yet, but I can tell you some of the elements. I use the word 'reshape' because Besson's writing material is never original, but it never sounds repeated. The same happens with the action itself; whether it's Corey Yuen's fantastic use of cars in 'Transporter', Leterrier's excellent management of the fight scenes in 'Dog' or Morel's wonderful car chase scene around a trailer-or any single frame of a gunshot, for that matter- in this movie, the producer always gets the best out of the directors he chooses.
"Taken" is so straightforward in his development, and this is respected by the whole cast and crew and assures the success of every moment of every scene in front of the viewer. The parental relationship Besson is so obsessed about and never fully developed (watch 'Dog', "Wasabi", "Leon", "Nikita" to experience the pieces) is the basis of the moving content of the film, and it's written with enviable intelligence. When Kim is kidnapped and his father decides to look for her desperately, we don't know very much about him, or her, or their relationship
And somehow that's precisely why we root for him, for a man who burns down every place he visits. By not giving us enough information of the characters, Besson leaves us no choice but to believe in Neeson's confident face-and fate-, no matter what.
Brian, with this confidence, says (and not to a friend): "I'll hunt you, I'll find you and I'll kill you". The movie doesn't waste time in unnecessary dialogs, shots, or scenes. This father always goes right to the point, and the camera goes with him skipping everything in the way. As I told you, you may know how it ends, but you can't imagine how impressive the ride in between is.Propulsively outandish thriller.Retired CIA operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) reluctantly allows his 17-year-old daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) to fly to Paris with her girlfriend Amanda (Katie Cassidy). Not more than a few hours after landing in Paris, Kim and Amanda are kidnapped by Albanian sex-traders. Bryan immediately hops on a flight to Paris in order to track down his daughter, vowing to stop at nothing to get her back. Taken is an original script by French film-maker Luc Besson and American screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen. Two sequels followed: Taken 2 (2012) (2012) and Taken 3 (2014) (2015). When Marko (Arben Bajraktaraj) is being interrogated by Bryan, he says that Kim was a virgin and that they don't deal with virgins, so they sold her to a man named Patrice Saint-Clair because virgins fetch a very high price. St. Clair's client turns out to be a sheik (Nabil Massad) who has a penchant for deflowering young girls. Bryan reaches the quay just as the boat carrying his daughter leaves the dock. He steals a car and drives along the quay until he passes the boat, stops his car on a bridge, and jumps on deck as the boat passes under it. After fighting his way past almost a dozen guards and getting himself shot in the leg, he makes his way to a bedroom suite where he finds a fat sheik holding a knife to Kim's neck. The sheik starts to negotiate, but Bryan shoots him between the eyes. Kim starts to cry and rushes into her father's arms. In the next scene, Bryan and Kim are arriving at the Los Angeles Airport. They are greeted by a tearful Lenore (Famke Janssen) and her rich husband Stuart (Xander Berkeley). Lenore hugs Bryan in thanks, and Stuart offers him a ride with them, but Bryan decides to take a cab. In the final scene, Bryan takes Kim on a surprise visit to the house of pop singer Sheerah (Holly Valance), who invites Kim inside so that she can hear Kim sing and "see what [she] got." By the time anyone would have spoken up, if ever, Bryan was likely on his private jet winging his way back to Los Angeles. Once back in the States, the U.S. government isn't about to hand over one of their CIA operatives.Taken is most often compared to Commando (1985) (1985), in which a retired army commando will stop at nothing to find his kidnapped daughter, and to Man on Fire (2004) (2004), in which the ex-CIA operative bodyguard of a young girl searches relentlessly for her when she is kidnapped. If you're into South Korean cinema, you could check out Ajeossi (2010) (The Man from Nowhere) (2010), which is very similar to Taken in many aspects. There are three versions. The first is the international cut, released as an "Extended Cut" (unrated) on home media in the US, and as an "Extended Harder Cut" (with an "18" classification) on home media in the UK. The second is the UK cut, which is nearly identical to the international cut, with the sole exception of the torture scene (the clamps are attached to the chair in the UK cut; in the international cut, they're attached to spikes which are stabbed into the man's legs), which was cut to secure a "15" classification. This cut was shown in theaters in the UK. Finally, the third version is the US cut, edited by 2 or 3 minutes to receive a PG-13 rating in the US. This cut was shown in theaters in the US. There are three DVD releases in Region 1—(1) the Single-Disc Rental Exclusive, (2) the Single-Disc Extended Cut, and (3) the Two-Disc Digital Copy—and the Blu-ray release in Region A. In Region 2 / Region B, there are (1) the Extended Harder Cut DVD and (2) the Blu-ray disc. a5c7b9f00b http://ragerkoobu.epizy.com/Cool_Hand_Mask_sub_download.pdf https://www.causes.com/posts/4924626 https://www.causes.com/posts/4924650 https://www.causes.com/posts/4924624 https://notodiripunc.wixsite.com/liatumather/blog/run-silent-run-deep-hd-full-movie-download http://bustlecvori.guildwork.com/forum/threads/5ba08ec8002aa82e15ab2832-malayalam-movie-download-tokyo-mater https://pastebin.com/axkTxF93 http://tipsfancudy.rf.gd/Ace_download_movie_free.pdf http://ichaspaticna.simplesite.com/433964820/6623657/posting/download-full-movie-8-seconds-in-hindi https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-dultersmateca/kung_fu_panda_2_in_hindi_free_download/
