Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack we ignore everything our daddy said and share a “everything so damn expensive”  ride from the airport with a very doable HBO Max Max (Hey, I’d hit that) all the way to our posh Paris adult free apartment for a very specific set of 2008 Action/Thriller that promises to TAKEN us away to construction site Bed-Sheet Brothels?, exotic rich guy dungeons, and boat rides with a fat guy… oh so Sheik. Man, I love Paris in the Summer and these drugs… I can’t stop ’em.. also, don’t do sex drugs

Anywho, thank you for attending my rich girl birthday party. You can heap your presents and adoration over there on that table by the ice sculpture where I will leap over them shortly with my new rich girl horse while Karaoke’ing to my hit single “Skills that Kills” that I dedicated to my daddy after he hooked me up with a pop star for vocal lessons and holy shit can you believe how amazing my life is… I even went for half a million at a human trafficking party… 

Randy, Peter good at picking up girls. Peter no good at looking both ways before crossing the street.

BRIEF

“Taken” (2008) follows the story of Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson), a retired CIA operative whose daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace), is kidnapped while on a trip to Paris. Using his special set of skills, Bryan embarks on a relentless quest to rescue her, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake as he battles a human trafficking ring. Directed by Pierre Morel and written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, “Taken” is a high-octane action thriller that turned Liam Neeson into an unexpected action hero.
