Up, Down and All Around

"Taken" In

Just finished watching Steven Spielberg's Taken on DVD. And frankly, I still don't quite know how I feel about it.

I can understand why it was critically acclaimed and why it was considered "an epic TV event." There was great acting, powerful writing, very visual directing, beautiful special effects, and a healthy respect of history.

There were a lot of "A-ha" moments along the way, especially once you got past the first four segments that were essentially the backdrop of the story.

I guess I have mixed feelings because I wish there was more to the ending than what we got. To be fair though, the ending actually makes perfect sense when you finally step back after 20 hours of TV viewing and consider the big picture.

Three families. Four generations. Fifty years of secrets. Gotta love that tagline.

Side note: Desmond Harrington is such a cutie.
