Taken

Suspense

The film Taken starring Liam Neeson leads the viewer on a wild ride of adventure, suspense, and a firm lesson about human trafficking. Neeson’s character, Brian is a retired government employee who has acquired a special skill set as a preventer. He prevents bad things from happening and is able to seek anyone out and destroy them if they are harmful in any way. Brian’s daughter goes missing while on vacation in Paris with her friend and is being drugged and eventually sold in a human trafficking ring with Albanians. Brian uses his amazing skill set to find and kill all those involved and ultimately finds and rescues his daughter from a life of horror.

In Today’s society, human sex trafficking has unfortunately become a large epidemic. This movie in my opinion reaches people emotionally and also raises awareness to girls to be very careful when they are out and to always check their surroundings. This movie shows the special training that CIA and FBI agents go through in order to keep our country safe. Overall, Taken is the kind of movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat and is well worth the price of the movie ticket.
