Liam Neeson Displays Skillz in Brand New TAKEN Trailer!

Hi. It's Beaks. You know and respect Pierre Morel as the director of DISTRICT B13 (aka BANLIEUE 13), so be a pal and check out the IGN-hosted trailer for his debut American feature TAKEN. Though it looks a little light on the ol' parkour, I do like the idea of a kidnapping drama in which a father refuses to fork over his daughter's ransom because he can kick ass like nobody's business. I don't imagine that approach boasts a huge success rate, but it's a helluva lot more exciting than going on the local news and offering $2 million for the head of Gary Sinise (which reminds me: why isn't the original, Glenn Ford RANSOM! on DVD?). Liam Neeson plays the highly skilled papa, while Maggie Grace co-stars as his shanghaied lil' girl. Xander Berkeley is in this, too. Check out the trailer below. Looks like fun. TAKEN hits theaters on September 19th.
