# Not really
Very enjoyable bollocks is how I would describe it.

If you enjoy 24 because of all the hard man/trained soldier stuff you'll love Taken, if you enjoy 24 because of the smarts, you'll probably hate it.
It was like Jack Bauer with his overshadowing love of his daughter, but if he didn't give a shit about morals, and if you took away the intellect of what he could realistically do*.

*Not that I'm claiming 24 is actually totally possible, just that they often do a good job of suspending disbelief

# Bah,
never really liked the idea of 24 really. I'll give it a miss :)

# I'm really not an action film fan
nor a big buyer into the kudos given to soldiers...but 24 is possibly one of my favourite things ever.

I was left reeling after the first episode I ever saw, one of the best bits of tv in existence...and this is from someone who really doesn't like/watch many tv shows at all.

I love 24 and I was surprised by how good taken was. It runs along very similar lines as 24, but Liam Neeson would whoop Jack Bauers butt when it comes to imaginative torture techniques.

Definitely worth a watch at least once, I liked it for it's no nonsense approach to getting the job done.

A good example, he's on a boat, guards are looking for him, one peers through the glass porthole in a door, to be greeted with a bullet between the eyes. In 24 it would have involved an elaborate fight sequence. It was raw agression!

# Saw it last week
not bad - plenty dont like it because of the obvious theme/racism but its just an action film..

Neeson is quite good in it too

At least I think so. It was last summer when I saw it and there has been a lot of beer since then.

I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop the other day and enjoyed it, so I think I will pretty much enjoy anything anyway ;)

# Christ.
I was unable to watch that through to the end and have not had the desire to go back to it.

I watched "The Echelon Conspiaracy" ( aka 'the gift' ) the other night.

I wish I'd have been murdered instead.
Did someone not tell those guys that your entire story was done last summer in "Eagle Eye" and that version was only passable?
empty script supported by b list actors with a couple of cameos to prop it up. Implausable characters reacting totally unnatural to extremely impossible situations.

I can't say it's the worst film I have seen this year because I've seen Far Cry and Fire from Below but damn, it's close.

A film I really enjoyed last week was "Faintheart". Good old British comedy with a high dose of geekery.

Not heard of fanitheart, I'll check it out.

I really hope Edgar Wright makes another films soon with Pegg and Frost.

I remember making the hilarious fighting noises Sub Zero and Liu Kang make in Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks at my nieces all the time.

Incidentally that game has the best and unintentionally hilarious opening sequences ever.
