Hahaha

I'm in awe of the film Taken.

You know that thing movies do, where the high-tech Government agency gets a crappy, pixelated image, loads it into a computer, presses a few buttons, and magically derives incredible quality and detail out of what previously was a couple of pixels?

Taken does the same. Except this is on a common photo-printing booth in the street and with a single button labeled 'process'.

Liam Neeson manages to find the face of the man holding the camera phone reflected in a sign in the background. It starts off as a shapeless blur > a few zooms and one press of the 'process' button later and you could photofit him.

Right down to his untrustworthy, European smile.

It also has a rooftop phonecall-triangulation scene, a I'm-cocking-my-gun-which-means-I'm-being-extra-threatening moment, and a bad guy getting hit in the face with steam from a broken pipe.

In the film's defense, when it does come down to just Liam Neeson kicking the crap out of filthy Europeans, it does so extensively.
