"Taken" Preview & Trailer
January 3, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
"Taken" hits theaters Jan. 30, 2009, and the trailer looks pretty scary. It’s got screenwriter Luc Besson ("Transporter 3") and director Pierre Morel (cinematographer on "Unleashed" and "War") at the helm, so you’ve gotta believe it’ll hit the scary factor pretty well. It tells the story of a former government operative (Liam Neeson) who comes out of retirement and uses his extensive training to rescue his estranged daughter (Maggie Grace) from a slave trade operation. "Taken" is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, disturbing thematic material, sexual content, some drug references and language. [Official site]
