i'm too lazy at the moment to mention if i saw this or not, but i did and yes it was pretty entertaining. Too bad it was PG13 though.. i didn't know that going in, adn about halfway thru i was like "heyyy! this isn't all that violent, what gives!?" Not sure if the less graphic violence is what made it funny, or if it woulda been better with a more graphic presentation.

What? It wasn't an R rating?

The video I saw had tons of violence including people getting stabbed with shards of glass and people getting shot point blank. Could they have possibly edited it in order to appeal to higher mass of people?

Wiki says Nope, pg-13

Sure it was a little more graphic than The Dark Knight (which had more implied violence) but really all it woulda taken to get the R rating was show some blood splatter on a wall after a guy was shot point blank in Taken. Hell i can't recall any blood at all in that!

Waiting on netflix.

The non-blood splatter reminds me of Goldeneye w/ Brosnan.  Lots of mortally wounded people in that, you know.

So I rewatched it and the version I had been watching was uncut (meaning R) and there is definitely blood, but no blood splatter. The one in theater was PG-13. People get there head bashed in by extinguishers and shot at from point blank range. There isn't an unrealistic amount of blood, but it's definitely violent. At one point someone gets shot 8 times in a row from a little further than 3 feet.

I just watched this movie last nite. What a ride. Lots of action, and even looking at it from a cynical standpoint, there was hardly anything that was implausible enough to take you out of the movie.

If you like theaters, then I suggest you go watch this there.
If you can't wait, then you know what you would have to do...
otherwise, don't forget to add this to your Netflix list.

Yeah I saw this not long ago, completely floored me how brutal it was. I wasn't expecting it at all. Like when he shot that guys wife.

It was a pretty **** movie overall, but the action was cool. It just had not much else.

i saw the movie the lodge last night and of course hated it

i saw the movie taken a half hour ago and of course loved it

the difference, in the lodge the characters are fucking stupid and deserve to fail, because they don't resort to any means neccassary to obtain their objective

in Taken its just the opposite, the main character is systematically ruthless and is constantly on the offense.

It reminds me how i felt while playing Perfect Dark and Resident Evil 4. Adrenaline flowing, no nonsense, achieve the objective, don't be stupid.

Great movie, but one thing bothers me, why does no one give a **** about Amanda?  He sees her dead and moves on, the day gets saved and all that happens is the audition with the vocal coach.  He could have at least sent the body back to the States for her parents to bury.

it was all amanda's fault in the first place, she led her on this path and died in the process. They were so naiive that they might as well be going out in the forest picking poisonous berries

Right, but her parents might be at least a little curious.

thats exactly what i was thinking at the end. I'm just surprised  that the daughter didn't want to ride with her dad after the plane ride. She owes everything to her father. EVERYTHING.
