    Predictable.... Far fetched... But dang that was a freakin' awesome movie! Anybody else seen it?

    If not, make it at the top of your list. Awesome movie for the first time... not sure about multiple viewings...

    Yes I watched that movie about a week ago, Awesome action scenes and a Bad A main character but as you said very predictable.

    I liked it.

    -Spoiler- Particularly when he shot the guys wife and the part about leaving the electricity on.

    It was predictable but most movies are so I can't really fault it on that. (not like the movie The Village where there's supposed to be some surprising plot twist but you figure it out from the beginning so the whole movie sucks)
    I thought Taken got kind of weak right at the end. I like a slightly better last revenge scene than the movie had. But it was still very good.

    :D

    Yep. Really enjoyed it.... one of those that I saw at the movie as it was a "big screen" release... (my best friend and I classify movies as one that dictate a big-screen viewing or they're rentals)...

    Been so long nowadays I may need to see it again someday.

    Yeah predictable, but one of those you sit back and just enjoy the action.

    Saw it twice. Great movie. Actually, the action was a bit more realistic compared to "traditional" action movies. Fight scenes were fairly quick and to the point. They didn't stretch the scenes out, he killed and fought with a purpose (just like someone would with his training).

    Sure there were some far fetched parts, but as far as an action movie is considered (compare this to Die Hard 2, haha), it was very well done.

    It was good, one of the best action movies since Bourne.
