Taken: The Search for Sophie Parker Audience Reviews

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
mountaingoat100 This Lifetime movie is not one of their true life crime pictures, but rather a variation on Liam Neeson's own movie of the same name. There are parallels, as NYC cop Benz sees off her daughter and friend on a trip to Moscow. Despite trying to warn her about the dangers, its clear the airhead will soon be ignoring mom and looking for fun in a foreign land. When the inevitable happens and the girls are snatched by a sex trafficking gang, Benz snaps into action. She flies to Russia, takes no guff from the ineffective cops, and with help from an Embassy security officer, is soon gunning down Russkie gangsters as she hones in on the captives. The men here are hopeless, either obstructive, unhelpful or murderous. It makes a refreshing change to see a movie where two women take bold decisions. This is a great opportunity for the versatile Benz, who could have a whole new career if there only there was a demand for female action films . She continues to make interesting choices and it doesn't hurt that she is also insanely attractive
chare4548 Greetings fellow movie lovers, This is an absolute must see movie event!! I would of rated this movie much higher, but of course the cap is 10. First the storyline is all to real unfortunately, but needs to be addressed. This movie did just that, and brilliantly!! There was a wonderful mix of drama, action, suspense AND even a love story tossed in. This story showcases a mothers love for her child, and the lengths she'd go to protect her. Nothing was more important, NO cost to high, even putting herself in great danger. Most parents one time or another have had to swoop in and rescue their child from something. Obviously, this movie features a horrific event, but statistics say's it happens far often than we know or ever want to know!!! The strong leading female actors were both refreshing and amazingly talented! All to often male actors get the action glory, while the women get the "sexy" role. Well friends, we got both in this movie!! This movie literally had my heart pumping so fast, literally at the end, I had to take my heart rhythm medication. This is a MUST SEE movie event. You will not be sorry. Thanks Friends, Chare
edwagreen The Russians got more than they bargained for when the daughter of the American Ambassador goes with a friend on spring break to Russia. Both quickly fall victim to a slave trafficking group with ties all over the world.Sophie's mother is a widowed police officer who doesn't know how to take no for an answer. She quickly runs off to Russia to pursue her daughter's captors and in the process uncovers a major officer involved in this slave group and teaches the Russians something about policing policies.This is a fast-paced action thriller again showing the determination of a mother to free her daughter. She was even better than American officials.The movie, based on true facts, teaches us that slave trafficking is alive and well throughout the globe.
zonkerjohn First, let's talk about the 'Inspired by a True Story'. It is something that I wish the movie industry would monitor. The simple fact is that just about anything could be based or inspired by a true story. The Brady Bunch could be based on a true story because somewhere out there (many places), somebody with children married somebody else with children.Jaws was based on a True Story. So, was Shawshank Redemption, A Few Good Men, etc. etc. Only the degree to which these movies are based on a true story varies.Regarding the movie, it was somewhat intriguing. I cannot say that I not found myself waiting for it to end, which means I liked it somewhat. I was kind of similar to the original 'Taken' with Liam Neison.The factor I disliked the most was its political correctness. Some people may debate this, but you have a bad ass girl going into a foreign country (Russia, no less) and for the most part dictating to their police force how things were going to go down. I think it was part of the movies' message that thousands of women are trafficked every year, and "we are going to show the world that not only is that wrong, but we will also show them just how tough women can be."It is certainly tragic what goes on with trafficking. I do not need to reminded through political innuendo that guys are the culprits (we all know that). The message of 'don't mess with women' was too much over the top.
