Taken trailer

There's a teaser for Taken on Yahoo movies now. This seems pretty interesting to me if only because it has Liam Neeson in what appears to be a classic action role that I would've expected someone like Jason Statham to do. The plot seems pretty standard: a father has a daughter who is kidnapped for whatever reason and so he goes and gets her back, presumably making the kidnappers regret what they did in the process.

Pierre Morel is the director, his only other directing credit to date is District B13, otherwise known as the French parkour action movie. Liam Neeson is the main star in this as mentioned before, Maggie Grace of Lost fame plays the victim (she looks a bit old for the role) and Famke Janssen appears to be the wife.

I wouldn't say that I am hugely excited about this just yet, but it has some potential if the action sequences come out well.
