GREAT movie and should be required viewing for all girls/women between the ages of 17 - 25 (17 - 30 if they're Japanese women...)

What's with the title??? I know a lot of titles don't translate well but even a bad student of English understands "Taken."

Yeah, I'm sure he won't visit, but that won't stop him from "instructing" underlings to make sure they're all there...

I think the fact that a major star's brother is arrested for drug use and the media doesn't report it shows that the entertainment industry has WAY too much power.

Can we speculate on whether this (in my opinion) perfect specimen of a woman has always been wild and has never been allowed to be wild and that the drugs let her be her real self??? It's gotta be difficult to live a life of such barriers.

I'm hoping someone will answer this question. Why didn't the police start a search for her first instead of issuing a warrant for her arrest first??? In a country where people resort to suicide so often, wasn't anyone worried about her safety??? The only thing I can think of is…

OK... An American stabs and kills a Japanese taxi driver and gets life in prison. A Japanese man stabs and kills a Korean woman and gets 15 years in prison. What's wrong with this picture???

It doesn't matter if the man 72. The sentence should be the same.

I had LASIK done on both eyes six years ago and my Japanese wife had hers done five years ago in the States through LASIK Plus. We both agree it was the best money we've ever spent. Please do your research and find a reputable doctor and don't let "Ari94"…
