Taken - Rent Now

What can be as scary as going to a country and being taken for the oldest trade, the sex trade.  Taken takes you into this underground world were the rich buy and sell innocent women to make prostitutes.

But their has been a catch.  The thieves did not count on the professional Liam Neeson.  He is an ex spy that has retired to spend more time with his estranged teenage daughter that he has neglected his entire career.  As he starts to build his relationship he is blind sided by a trip that she wants to take to Paris with a friend.  What she doesn't tell him is that she is not just going to see the sights of Paris but she plans to follow around a band and become a groupy for a month as the band travels on its UK tour.  Liam Neeson finds this out as she is about to board the plan and makes her promise that she stay in constant contact with him, calling when she get up and when she goes to bed and throughout the day.

The trip is cut short as soon as his daughter and friend make it to their hotel.  A few hours later both are kidnapped by slavers as Bryan Mills (Neeson) listens on the phone, Mills uses all his connections and skills to turn the city of lights upside down and rescue her.  Taken drips with lurid violence (a bit toned-down to get a PG-13 rating, but there's still plenty of it), deranged sentimentality, and stereotypes of all kinds.  But the movie is a thrill ride from beginning to end.
