what makes this really crazy to me is that Amanda was the one uneducated or desensitized on how to act in areas or countries you do not know and shows that Kim did take some of the things her dad probably taught her to heart, yet was put in this situation anyways. Kim continuously told her "you do not know him" and calling her name when Amanda gave too much information, yet as a teen she did not want to go against her cool, older friend. Amanda even lied to her friend about the family being in the home and only told her they were in another country once Kim was at the house. It just adds something more scary to me that a person can be taught all of the right precautions and get into 1 wrong situation where all bad factors meet, then be gone forever.

You will not see emotional mix now a days...fighting and distorted camera juggling and CGI are all about in today's movies. It's proving that we are going apart from values and reality. TAKEN is gem of the movie...and the way it's shown it's like u got 92 hrs and I'd u r late your daughter is gone forever. You can't find her anywhere. You got to act and the process should be precise and objective as well . What he wants to do should be clear as water from onset . So thts called processing of brain and act accordingly.

I like that in your review, you mention the problem with affluent people being sheltered. This is a huge problem. Being cut off from the lives of normal people in the way that rich people tend to be has been shown to have several adverse effects on one's psychology. It can impair your empathy, your ability to judge a situation, your problem-solving skills, all kinds of things. You need to be around ordinary people, sharing in their struggles, having to empathize and problem solve and otherwise develop your mind in healthy ways. If you lose touch, you risk becoming a victim, or worse, a perpetrator of this kind of thing.

It's a brutal but beautiful movie. It takes you past the BS and gets you right into the darkness. And though he's doing amazingly heroic things, he also encounters situations where he is truly over matched and can't achieve the ideal outcome, which is painfully realistic. As for the series, while I don't think it hurts to watch the sequels, it's the first movie that deserves the praise. BTW, the actress who played the wife does a great job of making you hate her, like Umbridge in the Harry Potter movies. She also plays a lead role in the X-Men.

They said langley. Any time i've seen a movie or show it referred to the C.I.A. I hate lenore too. Also she's doing a poor job raising kim. She's 17 and acts like a 5 year old. I think Bryan views her ordeal as partly his fault because he had the final say but it's the mother's fault. Teaching her daughter to lie and disrespect her father. His ex wife likely filed for divorce and cheated while he was away. Monkey branching to a new, rich man. But she's bitter and hates him?. Go figure. Thank god he only had one more year to deal with her. Am I evil for thinking no other father would go this far? Nobody deserves slavery but did she bring this on herself? The only thing that saved her from amanda's fate is her virginity which hanging around her friend she surely would've lost at some point during this trip. To make it sink in a little more I wish there was a scene where kim and and amanda's parents found out about her death. Maybe a funeral where he sent her body back to the states.

I actually had a connection with a Man from the Mid-East who invited me there and I decided it would probably be too risky to go.

When Sheera told Brian that his daughter should pick another career, it was because Sheera knows the ins and outs of the life she lives: being a pop star can be stressful, a lot of traveling when your on tour for months at a time, never stay in one place too long, a lot of people in your entourage making constatn demands of your attention and you hardly ever get a moment to yourself, screaming fans, CRAZY fans (like the one that came at her with the knife) ... so in that instant, her telling Brian that she should pickm another career wasnt about the competition, it was basically becayuse she knew being an idol is not all its cracked up to be beyond the glamor of it all - being famous has its downside, and it can be rough. Its not for everybody, and that's what she meant. I imagine she had amoment offscreen after the attack that Brina saverd her from where she thought "He saved my life, I gotta give him something" - so she set al that up as a form of gratitude, which makes her a realy nice person, in the end. Also Kimmy got to meet her eventually, so that's also awesome. Her dad made his daughters dream come true. I kind of imagine Sheera and Kim can bond over Bryan saving both their lives....and maybe trauma bond as well. Too bad about Amanda, though. Woulda been nice if Bryan had saved, her too, even though she was probably the most naive character in the movie besudes the mother, lol

@aaronbeatdown Жыл бұрын
Don’t get me wrong, the ex-wife is absolutely awful in this movie but it seems like she had to deal with him constantly choosing work over his family and forcing her to kind of be like a single parent until she eventually leaves him. We don’t know when he moves there to be closer/spend more time with his daughter, so it could be recent. So she’s naturally very protective of her daughter because she doesn’t want him to her hurt like she felt. Granted, keeping very important information from her father and just nitpicking and nagging when it’s clear he’s making a heartfelt attempt to be a better father isn’t helpful and kind of shitty. If you’re still wanting to use Batman Begins as a springboard, I would also recommend The Prestige. A superb movie directed by Christopher Nolan and stars Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and Michael Caine.

Great reaction as usual. The full body eye roll you both do whenever Famke Janssen appears was hilarious. If you liked Maggie Grace's acting you should check out Lockout (2012). Her and Guy Pearce make a really good team.
