Taken

Stripped of all Complexity this Major Box Office Hit is nothing more than a Great Way to Release some Pent -up Frustration, Classic-Catharsis, about Despicable Things that Continue to Go-On with Impunity around the World.

For those who maintain that this is Xenophobic and Racist, well it has to be Set Somewhere and the Villains have to be Somebody.

So Pick One. It really Doesn't Matter. There is No Argument that America is also Filled with such Evil and Nastiness that it Might have Taken Place in the Good olé USA.

These Things Matter Little in these Comic-Book Movies. Nothing seems Plausible or Realistic, hence Comic-Book Category, but it is so Much Fun Watching the really Bad Guys Get a really good Comeuppance.

There is some mediocre Acting, but this is for the Tired of it all People who are Sick of the Apathy and Talk and just want some good Old Fashioned Payback.

Justice...Revenge...Karma.

So Forget Deep Sociological Analysis. The Movie is a Vehicle to Continue a Thing that makes great Fiction.

Viva the Fictional Vigilante.
