Unfortunately Taken's unrealistic acting and very predictable plot prevents viewers from experiencing the actuality families face that are affected by the horrors of sex trafficking, which the movie attempts to portray.…

At some point, boyhood stops and manhood begins. Theodore Roosevelt said, “The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.” The transition from boy to man is not an easy one.…
