Taken: Marko (Arben Bajraktaraj)

Comments for death : Taken: Marko (Arben Bajraktaraj).

I kept thinking of Darkman when I read this one:

Rick: Oh, god! Don't! I've told you everything!
Darkman: [softly] I know, Rick. I know you did.
[furiously]
Darkman: But let's pretend you didn't!

Great film.

Man I uploaded this one but I failed. Ah well. I even used the joke for how stupid Marko is to deny Mills' mercy. "If there's one thing Commando taught us it's that you should never, ever, ever mess with the daughter of an ex-army soldier."

Yes there is an element of Commando about this tale I grant you, but Liam Neeson's rampage in France is nothing compared to Matrix's finale in Commando, where he singlehandly takes out the Banana republic's entire army with an M60. It is beautifully summed up by -

General: "left anything for us?"
Matrix: [in thick germanic accent] "only bodies...."

I LOVE Commando

Ditto. But still it's a tale of caution that tells you that you should not mess with any ex-soldier.

I've added a good quote about electricty bills, and also some grabs (courtesy of a generous friend sorting out my computer and giving me some decent DVD screengrab software).

I agree with Flashpenny, I watched this on DVD the other night and was struck by how much of a modern remake of Commando it was.

I was tickled thoughout, from things like:

- at least one girl gets kidnapped at Charles de Gaulle aiport a day.
- Liam Neeson's amazingly subtle questioning of the airport "spotter" (he just starts punching him in a taxi, in broad daylight)
- having the most minimal clues push the plot forwards. eg: once he hears "construction site" in Albanian, he finds the exact place in Paris!
- speaking of which, could those Albanians have created a ranker knocking shop? There surely can't be much profit in having your clientele go to a filthy contstruction site to get jiggy with even filthier drugged up girls!
- the wholly inappropriate happy ending - Kim has recently been drugged, thoroughly traumatised and her friend has been killed, but she's all smiles when she's taken to see Holly Valance!
