Movie review of Taken

Hey, welcome all to another episode of Movie Reviews , with Tom & Dinosaur Hand !


This week we’re too tired to leave the couch so it is video rental time!


Today’s review is on “Taken” starring Liam Neeson.


Tom “The hype on this movie was pretty strong ; I remember seeing it advertised quite a bit … at least the premise was a bit original .
Dinosaur Hand “Yeah , sure! Spoiled brat gets kidnapped and daddy has to kill everybody to rescue her! How cool is that?
Tom “You make it sound stupid.”
D.H. “No way; this is such a cool movie. There are guns and car chases and explosions and cell phones and broken glass and people behaving very badly and corruption, which is the same thing as what I just said, and flying fists!”
Tom “Also there is a nice back story here, what with Liam’s friends, a past marriage, and also a side story with body-guarding a famous singer.
D.H. “That is so excellent because he kills a guy!”
Tom “He doesn’t! Stop making things up.”
D.H. “That guy might have died. Yeah, and a lot of people are killed in this movie, like, a lot!”
Tom “You’re shaking. Do you know how badly you are shaking?”
D.H. “Heh, heh…do you remember how many times Frodo falls down in “The Fellowship of the Ring”?
Tom “Plenty…I couldn’t count that high; what’s that got to do with anything?”
D.H. “Heh, that’s how many millionaires are killed in this film! No, Billionaires! He kills all these rich smug bastards with his hands and guns and karate chops and other implements of destruction! Yeah! Heh, heh!”
Tom “I think you need to relax now. You are my most incorrigible limb!”
D.H. “After this movie I wanted to go out and smack everything and everyone…I was punching in the air and going ‘Woo Woo, come at me! I’ll smack you down, you!”
Tom “That’s right and you remember what happened then, don’t you?”
D.H. “Oh, don’t remind me…the things you and brother right hand make me do! Embarrassing!”
Tom “Well, it was for your own good…you were very hyped up.”
