Taken

My favorite movie is Taken by Pierre Morel.

This movie is about a man (Bryan who is starred by Liam Neeson) who is divorced and had a daughter (Kim) who lived with her mom (Leonor), who has been married twice (one with this man and with Stuart).

This man had a series of skills that he has gained throughout the years he worked as a bodyguard.

Every year he gives her daughter a gift, but when she turned 18 she asked for something special, that he would let her go with her best friend Amanda and her cousins to Europe to visit museums. He agreed with the condition that she has to call every day and night so that his dad can verify if she is ok, but then Bryan found a map in her purse which indicated the places where the band U2 would be playing.

Her daughter and her daughter’s best friend arrive to a French airport and they meet a guy named Peter, they share a cab and when they arrive to Amanda’s cousin’s apartment he said that he has a party that night and if they wanted to go. They agree and he asked where can he find them, and Amanda gave him the address of the apartment. Silly Amanda. A few minutes later some guys entered the apartment and took Amanda. Kim was in the bathroom talking with her father and saw everything so she told her dad and he told her to hide in the next room and when she was hidden Bryan told Kim to put the cellphone near the men who entered the apartment and that she had to shout every characteristic she could see from those men.

Then he stopped listening her daughter and started to talk. “I don’t have much money, but what I have is a series of skills that I have gained throughout the years. I don’t know who you are, but I will find you and I will kill you.”  He only had a “Good luck” for answer. He started to search her and the kidnapers. He found out that that group was from Tropojia and were specialized in women trafficking, and that if he wanted to see her daughter again he had to find her in the next 72 hours.

He took a plane to France and found the guy who took Kim and Amanda to Amanda’s cousin’s apartment but the man (Peter) jumped from a bridge and was crushed by a truck. In France he did some illegal things like killing and avoid the French police, but he did not cared. The only thing he wanted to do was to have her daughter back and took her home where she could be safe and sound.

Almost at the end he found her daughter in a room where men were buying girls. Her daughter was the most expensive one because she was still a virgin, so he forced a man to buy her so that he could go to and take her home. He killed all the men who were on the yacht, and when they saw each other they hugged and went home.
