Taken
Gripping movie. All should watch.
It’s just that after watching this, I think… yikes, should I be worried about travelling to Europe now? :(

This show has kept me engaged throughout… Liam Neeson’s character, in a less dramatic fashion and extent, reminds me of my Daddy… :) - by this, I’m referring to how Daddy sacrifices for this family; how he puts his family first in everything he does; and how (I believe) he will fiercely defend us. (Psst… Daddy has “a very particular set of skills” too… heh heh heh… well… cooking is a skill right? hehehe… Oei Jer, if you’re reading, don’t pao-toh me ah… but just in case you do, I shall have a disclaimer about his skills: No matter what, I love you Daddy!!!)
I was initially dubious about the movie because well, for one, I didn’t think we were going to watch a movie (I thought it was just Starbucks at The Cathay… tho’ everyone knew we were watching a movie - Janice says, “oh! i booked tickets already… last night!”; Shuying says, “I knew it was a movie… not so much dinner and coffee??” REALLY??? how did I miss the big picture man…?? ); for two, I didn’t know what the movie was about (and all I could rely on was Joe’s claim that it was good… “Trust me, you’ll like it!”); and for three, I had some silly long run of 58min in the evening, prior to meeting them and I was really sleepy (It was a 11.20pm show)…
BUT… it kept me awake… all the way… :)

Yes I watched Taken too. Too damn awesome.
The way Liam Nesson gave instructions to his daughter right before the kidnap was just pure professionalism!
