"Taken"

Sound familiar? Well, you’ve probably heard before as it was a movie released in 2008.

PLEASE PLEASE read through the plot stated below in which i plucked from Wikipedia.

Retired, decorated, highly-trained veteran CIA agent Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) is picking out a karaoke machine for his seventeen year old daughter, Kim's (Maggie Grace), birthday. When Bryan gets to Kim's house he gives her the present, but is upstaged by Kim's wealthy step father Stuart, who gives her a horse.
After leaving the party, three of his friends arrive at his house for the steak party that was forgotten by Mills. As they leave, Bryan's friend and former CIA colleague Sam (Leland Orser) convinces Bryan to take up a job with him: working as bodyguards for the famous singer Sheerah (Holly Valance). When the concert ends Bryan escorts Sheerah out of the venue and manages to fend off an attacker. The next day, he has lunch with his daughter, only to find that Lenore (Famke Janssen) has accompanied her so they can persuade Bryan to sign a parental consent form allowing Kim to go to Paris with her 19-year-old friend, Amanda (Katie Cassidy). Bryan agrees on the condition that Kim calls him immediately once she lands and every night thereafter.
When they arrive, Kim and Amanda meet Peter (Nicolas Giraud) who persuades the two to share a taxi. When they arrive where the girls are staying, he tells the girls that his friend is having a party and offers to pick them up, obtaining their apartment number. As he leaves, he opens his cell phone and gives information about the girls to an unknown person.
While on the phone with Bryan, Kim witnesses Amanda being abducted. Bryan informs her that she will be taken as well, and gives her instructions. As Kim is being taken, she shouts out as much about her kidnapper as she can before she is knocked out. One of the kidnappers takes the phone and listens to a threat from Bryan before smashing the phone. Bryan made a recording of the call, and Sam analyzes it. Sam tells Bryan that the kidnappers are the Albanian Mafia, and they are part of a gang dealing largely in sex slaves. Bryan contacts Stuart to secure a private plane, and travels immediately to Paris.
In Paris, Bryan tracks down Peter, who is hit by a bus after trying to escape, and then meets up with his old friend, Jean-Claude (Olivier Rabourdin). Bryan needs to know where the Albanians could be. Jean-Claude claims that there are many Albanians in Paris. Bryan then learns of an Albanian-run brothel at a nearby construction site. At the brothel Bryan is unable to find Kim or Amanda but instead rescues another girl who was in possession of Kim's jacket. After rescuing the girl, Bryan takes her to a hotel and meets up with another friend, Gilles, who is working as a hotel manager. Next day, the girl tells him that she had been given the jacket at a particular house where Kim and the gang may be. He follows the girl’s advice and finds the house. Bryan kills almost the entire gang after recognizing the voice from the phone call. Bryan searches the rooms of the house and finds many drugged, imprisoned sex slaves, including Kim's friend Amanda, who died from an apparent overdose or from physical abuse.
Bryan then tortures the surviving gang leader for information. The gang leader reveals that Kim was sold to a man named Patrice Saint-Clair (Gérard Watkins) before Bryan leaves him in an active electric chair. Bryan then appears at Jean-Claude's apartment and confronts him about his apparent dealings with the Albanian smugglers, threatening him by shooting his wife but not killing her. Bryan, posing as Jean-Claude, then goes to a party hosted by Saint-Clair.
Bryan tracks down Kim just as she is being sold in a darkened room but is subdued before he can stage a rescue. After regaining consciousness and liberating himself from his captors, Bryan finds Saint-Clair and kills him, but not before finding out where Kim was taken. Bryan tracks down the yacht belonging to the Arab sheikh that bought Kim. Bryan boards the yacht and kills all the guards on board. He then kills the sheikh and frees his daughter. Bryan comforts Kim and takes her back to the United States. At the L.A. airport, Kim is reunited with Lenore and Stuart. A couple days later, Bryan takes his daughter Kim to Sheerah's house and she helps Kim improve her singing.

If a good movie is defined by its ability to stir extreme emotions in its viewer, then this, IS A FRIGGIN GOOD MOVIE.

It gave me goose bumps by just reading the plot above. Wait till you’ve seen the scene where the women are been drugged up and made into sex slaves and their clients are mostly construction workers. I almost had tears in my eyes as I really couldn’t imagine myself in that situation. The fear was no ending, and the abuse kept on coming, UNTIL YOU DIE.

It’s being drugged and raped till your death.

Jag purposely played this movie for me to watch, surpassingly to “wake me up” and remind me of how naive i am and how i am this close of being in their position.

*He’s just mad am going to Bangkok with the girls next year.*

Well, i’d say, no doubt, things like this happened. BUT i, don’t roll like those girls do.

I DO NOT reveal my accommodation address to a stranger i meet after i land on a foreign land! I DO NOT make friends with people “just like that”, and i certainly DO NOT accept party invitation by people i just know!

I’d say the girls in the movie was “playing with fire” and they got burned, badly.

Irregardless, it is a good movie. Thini told me some of her friends developed phobia of travelling after watching the movie. I think i did too.

It is a good movie. It remind girls out there how evil the world really is, and hell, really do exist on earth.

Show this movie to your sister, your girl friends, your girlfriend, your wife, you cousin. Show it to everyone.
