The same man, Brian, the goes to a birthday party, his daughters. In this scene we see that him and his ex-wife have issues, she seems to act like she doesn't want him ti be there, we also see that she has a new lover who is rich and out does him by buying his daughter a horse. This makes us feel sorry for the man and we automatically wonder whats going to happen and how he feels. After the party he has a few friends round, they talk about his daughter (Kim) which leads to one of the friends saying, 'Does she appreciate the fact you have given up your life in order to be closer to her' this makes up wonder, what sort of man he really is and what is going on in his family. One of the friends offer him a job and we see him for the rough, skilled man he is as he protects a famous singer from being stabbed, he is quick and knowledgeable. We see him stop the man and get him to the floor with out any trouble. This makes he think about what sort of life he gave up for his daughter and that maybe he isn't just a lonely man like he was made out to be at the start of the film.
The next scene is where we start to wonder what is going to happen next, Kim asks permission if she can go to Paris with her friend, her dad is not happy and does not understand why she wants to go so bad. She can not go unless he signs the papers, so Kim gets very upset about it, his ex-wife gets angry and complains to him that he used to sacrifice everything for the service to the country, this tells us that Brian used to work for the country answering the previous question of what he used to do. He explains that he does not want his daughter at risk, both the ex-wife and Kim walk out. The dad goes round to her house in order to give her the singed papers, the music that is playing in the background tells us that we should feel sorry for him, he feels pressured into letting her go and doesn't actually want her to leave, this makes us feel like something bad is going to happen to her. He gives her rules and things that she must do and he says that he insists on taking her to the airport. Unfortunately Brian finds a map in Kim's bag highlighting all the different places she will be travelling this makes he angry and frustrated as he knows how dangerous the world can be, however the doesn't stop the girls from going away.
The girls arrive in Paris and everything seems normal, they share a cab with a young man who seems very normal, the arrive at their apartment and he invites them to a party, he asks for their apartment number in order to meet them later. The mystery builds when the young man rings somebody when the girls are gone, he repeats the apartment number and their ages to the strange mystery person. Te girls settle in and begin to let lose, the blast the music and have fun. Kim's dad rings but because of the music she misses it, in her way back from using the toilet Kim hears her phone, she runs to a quite room to speak to her dad. The apartment is the whole 5th floor therefore Kim can see her friend, Amanda, dancing around opposite from where she is. Kim speaks to her dad on the phone until something terrible happens and she is so shocked she does not know what to do. Men appear, they are strangers and they are trying to take Amanda. Kim explains to her dad what is going on and how the men are taking her away, mystery is flying around as you are thrown to the edge of your seats as Kim cries with fear. Brian stays clam and gets technical equipment out which implies he knows what he is doing. He asks questions about who she had meet and and what she had done, he tells her what to do and when to do it. He tells her that she is going to be taken, he tells her to scream out different things about the men so he will be able to find them. The men pull Kim from under the bed and as screams down the phone her father is left upset and determined to find her. One of the men pick up the phone Kim dropped and when he tells them that he will look for them and kill them, the strange man reply's 'Good Luck'.
Brain gets to work straight away and goes to her bedroom, he searches for anything that may be able to help him. He flies to Paris to start his search, his friend helps Brian find out what language the strange men were talking and what hey were, he is able to find out that they capture women in order to traffic them around, they drug the girls up and make them into prostitutes. The sad news comes in that he only has 96 hours in order to find Kim or he will never see her again, this is were the mystery an suspense goes wild, will he find her? who has taken her? what will Brain do next?
Brian listens to the recording of the man saying 'good luck' over and over again i order to get the voice into his head, he then travels to the girls apartment in order to get a look at the scene where his daughter was taken from. Brain looks around the place and pictures what happened on that night, he follows Kim's footsteps as to where she thinks she went. Brian then takes the memory card from Kim's phone and looks at all of the pictures she took in case there are any clues, the clever man finds an reflection of the young man who shared their cab, Brian goes after him. The young man is again at the airport trying to get more girls, Brian interrupts him trying to get another girl, he tries to get information from him, the young man runs and runs and does not speak a word to Brian. Brian is horrified when in the process of running away the young man gets killed trying to escape, his first lead to find Kim is now dead!
Brian travels all over the place in order to try and find his lost daughter, he visits different prostitute places in order to search for clues, he even hires somebody who speaks Albanian so that he can listen in on the different people talking to see if they were the ones who took his darling Kim. From listening in on the conservation he finds out that, there is new girls coming in and the place where he needs to go to find them, this is where he travels to next. At the stage area he finds many different girls in sectioned rooms, he goes past one and finds Kim's jacket with a young girl, he confronts her and tries to take her, this causes a scene with all the men running the zone but he manages to get her out and safe. He gets her to a quite room, as she has been drugged he tries to counteract the them in order to get her stable so that she is in a fit state to talk and help him out. The young girl tells Brian that Kim gave her the jacket when they were in the house, so Brian goes looking.
Brian arrives at the house and speaks to a group of men, Brian suspects the men are those that took Kim so he takes action. He questions to the men about what they do and tries to be sneaky into getting information about his daughter. He asks the men different questions in order to here all of them talk, he gets to the last man he think he may be the one he is after so he gives him a piece of paper and asks him to read what is on it, the man says 'good luck' Brain automatically knows he is the guy, Marco, a fight brakes out and most of the men end up dead. Cleverly Brian keeps Marco alive, he is now Brian's only hope of finding Kim. As Brian looks through all of the rooms in the house he comes across his daughters friend Amanda, she is dead. This makes the audience wonder, where is Kim? Is Kim alive? Will Brian find her in time?
Brian takes Marco to a little room, he sits him in a chair attached to the electrics and demands answers. He asks what he has done with his daughter and where she is now, it takes a while for Marco to corporate so Brian turns on the light to put him through pure pain every time he refuses to answer a question. Marco soon gives in and give Brian a name, Patrice St Claire. Brian left Marco to die, and set off to find his daughter. Brian visits different people until he finds what he needs, and then he finally finds out who St Claire is. He finds out where the man will be in hope Kim is there too, he finds him self in a bidding event, in order to buy the women, he manages to get into one of the rooms and sees his daughter, he threatens the man so that he buys his daughter and he will know where to find her.
After the bidding Brian gets hit, he is taken to a room and is tied up, he is scared as the men try to kill him. Brian uses his amazing skills and gets away, fighting threw any man that gets in his way. He runs all the way to where the man who 'won' his daughter is, again he fights his way threw more men in order to finding his daughter, he knows that this is his last chance, the mystery is at its highest at this point. Sitting on the edge of your seat this is were we wonder if he will ever get Kim back, he music playing adds to the drama as it makes the audience more tense and more on edge as we all want Brian to find Kim, and for Kim to be alive.

In the process of fighting, Brian gets sliced with a knife Brian wins the fight and he proudly walks thought to he next room to collect his daughter.To his surprise the man is holding her up at knife point, threatening to kill her. Brian takes a skilled shot at the man and kills him, Kim happily runs to her dad, scared for her life she cries into her dads shoulder so please that he came for her.
As a whole i personally think it is a excellent film, there is mystery through out the entire film and i found myself constantly on edge. As a thriller film i think it ticks all the boxes, exciting, mysterious,tense, suspense and most of all unique! When it comes to watching a film there is nothing i hate more than a boring same ole story line, Taken is a very interesting film with a unique twist to it. I would say it is a must see film, 5 out of 5.
