Liam
Neeson takes on a breakneck, adrenalin-fuelled role in
the tense and heart-pounding action thriller Taken, from
acclaimed producer Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Leon).
Neeson (Batman Begins, Schindlers List) plays an ex-secret
agent who will stop at nothing to rescue his daughter
from her Albanian kidnappers in Paris. This roller-coaster
ride of an adventure is as action-packed as the ‘Bourne
Trilogy’ and will have you on the edge of your seat
from start to finish. Taken is released to rent and buy
as an extended, harder cut than seen in cinemas on DVD
and Blu-ray on 9 February 2009 from Twentieth Century
Fox Home Entertainment.
Former secret agent Bryan Mills (Neeson) begins the
longest 96 hours of his life – in the hunt for
the fearsome organization that has taken his daughter
Kim (Maggie Grace; Lost, The Fog). When Kim who lives
with Bryan’s ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen; The
X-Men Trilogy, Hide and Seek) and a friend want to travel
to Paris, Bryan refuses due to the dangers that could
lie ahead, but eventually he allows her to go on the
basis she calls him every night before she goes to bed…
Bryan’s worst fears are realized when Kim and
her friend Amanda are suddenly abducted – in broad
daylight – from the Paris apartment at which they’ve
just arrived. Moments before Kim is dragged away by
the as yet unseen and unknown assailants, she manages
to phone Bryan, who begins to expertly piece together
clues that will take him to the darkness of Paris’s
underworld. He will face nightmares worse than anything
he has ever experienced – and will let nothing
and no one stop him from finding and saving his daughter.
Taken is bursting with fight scenes, car chases and
exciting action sequences, plus a whole host of amazing
special features on DVD and Blu-ray. The fantastic extra
footage puts you on the other side of the camera, taking
you through some of the electrifying action including;
the explosive car stunts and chases, the spine-chilling
fight sequence on the boat and behind-the-scenes cast
interviews with Luc Besson, Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen
and Maggie Gray. If you are a fan of the Jason Bourne
and James Bond films then Taken will knock you out on
DVD and Blu-ray!
