Captivating, suspenseful, riveting, exhilarating are only a few of the words that I would use to describe the movie Taken. If you desire a high dose of adrenaline to quench your movie watching thirst, and if you are ready to take a super-charged ride to the action filled city of Paris, France, then this is a must see movie for you. Taken, not for the faint of heart, will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire ninety-one minutes. Be prepared to have the popcorn container pried from your hand when the credits start to roll on this high energy thriller. Taken really has no right to be as much fun as it is. A movie with less interest in character development and dialogue than in roundhouse kicks and gunplay, Taken is brutish and loud and slow in parts, but also undeniably entertaining. Taken shows Bryan Mills as a one man rescue squad, a master of every skill who is on a mission to save his daughter. Good always overcomes evil. After reluctantly agreeing to let his 17-year-old daughter, Kim, go to France with her best friend. Bryan Mills is horrified to hear that she is kidnapped by an Albanian gang whose specialty is prostitution rings. With only 96 hours to go before he'll never find her again, Bryan rushes to France to save her. As a former CIA agent, he has all the skills necessary to rescue her – but he has to find her first. Kim manages to convince her reluctant father to allow her to travel to Paris with her friend Amanda. When the girls arrive in Paris they…

God’s grace play an important factor in how the characters react to their problem. The word ‘Grace’ is an important symbol in the story and relates to the characters in different ways. The explicator article points out that the word, ‘Grace’, is utilized as the name of the narrator’s daughter and the biblical sense for the extension of mercy, even when that mercy is unearned (Stone). In the story, Grace is dying from polio. In contrast the grace of God are the gifts and favor that he presents us…

the earlier funeral of her husband, the men all rush up to redress themselves. Already, the scene makes for uncomfortable watching to anyone who has had experience with a person who will not take to being argued with. Pushing forward, Violet asks for someone to say grace at the table before continuing the meal and as Charlie attempts to, it adds even more awkward tension to those present, as while Charlie is trying his best regardless of obviously not being used to saying grace, he has no real…

entertainment. However, usually there is a larger problem that the publisher is trying to get us to see by the use of satire. In Steve Johnsons article, It All About Us, he says that the use of technology can be beneficial because it brings for the opportunity for people to be more engaged in what is going on around us; and this is one of the benefits of watching television shows that we are able to communicate and bring attention to certain things. Like in the episode “Two Cars in Every Garage…
