Taken, is Franco-American, produced and co-scripted (with Hollywood writer Robert Mark Kamen) by Luc Besson and starring Liam Neeson as a retired CIA field agent discovering that his 17-year-old daughter has been abducted in Paris by Albanian white slavers. The plot is much like Arthur Penns 1985 thriller Target, starring Gene Hackman, but altogether fiercer. After a careful build-up in Los Angeles, the picture moves at the speed of a high velocity bullet, preposterous, yet logically developed. By the time Neeson has dealt with the Albanians, the bent French coppers assisting them and the murderous Arabs taking possession of the girls on behalf of lecherous sheikhs, he's killed something like 50 people and maimed as many more. This is the sort of picture that discourages Americans such as Sarah Palin from getting passports.
