Watched Taken months ago....I enjoyed it(plot is simple) but if you want to watch a twisted revenge movie I would recommend Oldboy (its not for everyone)

have watched both, considering the lack of worthwhile films these days, both are good. Enjoyed taken little more, but both will keep your interest. Also recently saw pride and glory, lions and lambs, Grand Torino, they all are above average and worth watching.

Saw Taken this weekend. I enjoyed it, it isn't two long, good action scenes and a while you have to suspend your disbelief a little; it was a good film.

Both look really good to me. What's the scoop?

Thanks!

Had a cracked copy of Taken for a month or so. I liked it alot. Got Grand Turino the same day and liked that movie even more. I have a Grandpa that was extremely predjudice of Oriental people since being a captain of a destroyer in WWII. Lots of similarities of him and Clint's character. Funny movie at times, and serious at others. Loved how racism was handled in this film. (Way better than "Crash" did)....

Another funny thing is after my Dad saw the movie twice over a weekend in bed, (he's 76), he went right down and applied and passed the test (if there is one) to get a Concealed Weapons Permit)... I think he really enjoyed the scene where he helps the girl with the wannabe gangsta thugs)....

I've watched TAKEN, and it's the type of movies I like, so I definately give it 2 thumbs up. It's sort of predictable, but it's still a great movie. The guy playing the role did a great job. Plus the movie isn't very long and that's always a plus for me!
