Review: Last blog I said, “It’s rare that I ever give a movie a PERFECT rating.” Well, it’s even more rare that I see two PERFECT movies back-to-back!

Taken stars a bad-ass Liam Neeson. Forget Qui-gon Jinn or Ra’s al Ghul. This time Neeson takes on the role of Bryan Mills, a former spy who sets out to find his kidnapped daughter in Paris.

The timing in the movie may seem rushed (it’s quick, only 90 minutes long) but if you ask me, it’s perfect. It’s an action-packed thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Random note:  I saw the movie late on a Friday night with Cynthia, and when we were looking for parking I thought I found a spot but this really nice Mercedes was taking up a spot-and-a-half.  Luckily there was parking across from it.  Fast-forward to after the movie, we end walking behind the owner of the vehicle.  GUESS WHO!  It was the San Diego Chargers Cornerback Quentin Jammer and his wife.  LOL, I said, “Whoah, whaddup Q?!”  He smiled and replied, “Whatsup.”  Nice.
