No matter how cheesy they are, I find myself always watching them. I have to admit I was pretty excited and hesitant with Taken was announced. Could Liam Neeson be an action star? I mean he was great as Henri Ducard in Batman Begins and was one of the finer moments in Episode 1 as Qui-Gon, but this man can act. What were they thinking? They were thinking <span class="caps">AWESOME</span>! Liam was fantastic. How great to see him kick everyone&#8217;s butts to get his daughter. As Jess put it, his mantra was &#8220;Your ass shall be kicked.&#8221; And kick he did. With a ruthlessness that put Jack Bauer&#8217;s of 24 to shame, and a softer side with the young girls, he was fantastic (sorry about that my friend -your wife had to suffer!). If you are looking for a movie to rent, go with <i>Taken</i>!</p> Mon, 8 Jun 2009 07:27:00 PDT <a href="/articles/2009/06/08/liam-neeson-the-next-action-star">Liam Neeson - the next action star?</a> <a href="/articles/2009/06/08/liam-neeson-the-next-action-star">Liam Neeson - the next action star?</a>
