Four New ‘Taken’ Clips Leave Us Fearing Liam Neeson!?
After having a small bit of liquid residue slowly appearing at the corner of our mouths after seeing the sublime trailer for Luc Besson’s ‘Taken’ a while back, we’ve had our eye on this little number, now WorstPreviews have turned up with a few glimpses from the film and our hopes for this have only heightened - we want to see Neeson give slave traders a battering!After loosening the protective grip around his daughter to allow her to go to Paris and live the dream (and get the ex missus of his back), his darkest fears are realised when the poor young girl is kidnapped by unknown attackers and slipped into the underground slave trade, but as is soon revealed, this nasty mob picked the wrong girl to kidnap - father dearest turns out to be a retired spy and part time badass.
The bad guys don’t stand a chance - and I pity them for it. I’m talking ‘Mr T style’ pity.
Whilst the clips do start off with the mild stuff (eg. Dad giving the green for daughter to do what she wants and the kidnapping going ahead), the rest - well - the rest is just poetry.
I tell thee what, Liam Neeson can be a scary fella when he wants to and clips 1-4 prove it. Read the rest of this entry

Get ‘Taken’ aback with brand new trailer!?
Although Luc Besson’s recent directing jobs haven’t really been his usual bag of much loved tricks (‘Arthur and the Invisibles’ being the real downer) the next film penned (and produced) from his ultra cool mind already has us impressed.
Directed by ‘District B-13’s Pierre Morel, (another film produced by Besson) the film sees Liam Neeson as a protective father who finally gives the greenlight for his daughter to fly off to Paris marking what looks to be her first step into the big wide world. His darkest fears are realised when said daughter is pinched by unknown kidnappers – but it’s the kidnappers themselves that should be bricking it because by the looks of things, Daddy dearest turns out to be a well trained killier.
It’s here where we hand you the trailer and show a large amount of pity for the cocky lad on the other end of Neeson’s phone.
