Ok, I saw the movie TAKEN and to say the least, I found it enjoyable. Someone was doing their homework. Olivier Schneider, the fight choreographer, really put a reality edge on it. A lot of edge of SDTS type technique (EVEN THOUGH HE’S A KUNG FU ENTHUSIAST!). Its also not w/out a little “twisty wrist”, but all in all it was fun to watch.
Of course you need to suspend belief…its a movie. But compared to the “bullet dodging, over technical CGI productions we’ve grown accustomed to, it was a refreshing change.
The fight scene at the airport was my favorite.
