If you couldn't guess that this was a blatant, pre- Jurassic Wolrd cash-in, then you are either out of touch with the latest developments in the movie business or just plain naive. If you did guess it, and that's why you stayed away, then your over-judgmental attitude cost you a laidback outing with a deliberately cheesy, over-the-top, and fun B-movie (with tongue firmly in cheek) strewn with blood, gore, hot dames, square-jawed hunks, hilarious antics, corny dialogues, breezy action, and, dare I say it, some half-decent CGI effects.
Compared to most action-comedies out there, "Tooken" - the latest spoof movie based on Liam Nesson's popular "Taken" franchise and some other well-received actioners - fails to make any sort of mark. Compared to the drivel served up in the term of movie spoofs over the last 10 years or so (since Scary Movie 3), "Tooken" is head and shoulders above the competition. And for fans of "Taken" or Neeson's work in general, it's nothing short of a high-cholesterol treat.
