being suspicious is not a crime... review on Taken (spoiler alert!)


I have always been a fan of Liam Neeson, he is just so damn cool ... he played Ra's al Ghul (Batman Begins), Godfrey of Ibilin (Kingdom of Heaven), Priest Vallon (Gangs of New York), Qui-Gon Jinn (The Phantom Menace) and many more roles that can be considered as supportive characters, but nevertheless still leaves a big impact on the whole story line...

but in Taken, Liam Neeson is no longer the noble mentor as in the previous films mentioned... In this movie, he is a retired special agent who's daughter was kidnapped by a sex slave trade gang... at the beginning, i wasn't expecting that much action from this movie, but man, he did went rambo and cold-bloodedly kills everyone who gets in his way... for a 56-year-old man, he really kicks ass ... it was enjoyable, breathtaking and a heart warming movie... as far as i know, it's no longer in the cinemas... so if you wanna watch it, go get the dvd, torrent it or something...

enough about the movie, i guess that there are no limits when it comes to save the one's you love (especially when you are an ex-agent of course)... but in the real world, there is nothing much to do when one's child is kidnapped... you went to the nearby balai and made a police report, and then wait... and wait... and wait... remember nurin jazlin jazimin? or sharlinie, just to name a few... there are many more out there who are still missing... but what are the authorities doing about it? waiting for lelaki kucing to come up front and confess, i guess...

i can't wait to have the children of my own, but to raise them in the current Malaysia is something that i am afraid of... may the Almighty protect us and all our beloved ones from all the sick paedophiles, kidnappers or whatever culprits who are into this kind of shit... amin...



wtf's of the day: "If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you..."
