taken (2008)

HOM and i watch this on a lazy sunday afternoon. 

all i say is, this is my kind of action movie. a near invincible hero (to quote J1) in ninety minutes of packed easy-to-follow plot with absolutely no nuance to the action except for a clear white-triumphs-over-black construct. all the bad guys die. the good guy wins thumpingly big. the nasty ex becomes satisfyingly grateful. even the stepfather is one of the good guys. you feel like you've had a good workout at the end of the movie.

they need to make more movies like this. and put the indiana jones guy in the title role.
