5 out of 5 stars!   Great Excitement & Entertainment 2010-10-03

This is a good example of a movie that keeps guys like me interested and rooting the hero. I don't know how long the movie is, but the time raced by BOTH times I watched and I never wondered How long does this last? in a frustrated stew as happens in too many other movies. Superbad Dad goes after the bad guys for the duration. He sees all and knows all so don't expect a documentary because it's not real and it's just for fun so enjoy. It's kind of therapy for someone who feels that there is too much injustice in the world EXCEPT maybe in this movie. Missing is gratuitous: sex, bloodletting, foul language, America-bashing. So enjoy and entertain with TAKEN!
