  1. Film Review: Taken (2008)@drax612d

    (source: tmdb.org)

    Liam Neeson stands as a modern embodiment of what Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, and Clint Eastwood used to be during the golden age of Hollywood action cinema - iconic actors specialised in portraying tough, no-nonsense characters who, while not conventionally handsome or articulate, were desirable to be around when things would start to go bad. Neeson has established this reputation with his portrayal of Bryan Mills in the 2008 film Taken, which not only became his most iconic but also significantly influenced the trajectory of his career, for better or worse.

    Bryan Mills is introduced in film as a former Green Beret and retired CIA officer whose dedication to his career has cost him his family life. His ex-wife Lenore (played by Famke Janssen) has remarried a wealthy man, Stuart St John (played by Xander Berkeley), leaving Bryan estranged from his daughter Kim (played by Maggie Grace). Despite the familial discord, Bryan's devotion to Kim is unwavering. When she and her friend Amanda (played by Katie Cassidy) travel to Paris, he warns her to exercise caution, a sentiment dismissed by those around him as overprotective paranoia. Tragically, Bryan's fears materialise when both girls are abducted. Without hesitation, he travels to Paris and employs his extensive skills and connections to track down the Albanian gang responsible for their kidnapping. He uncovers a disturbing network engaged in sex trafficking, where young girls are sold into slavery for the gratification of wealthy clients worldwide.

    Taken is produced by Luc Besson, a French filmmaker who became as favourite of arthouse snobs only to later try “outHollywooding” Hollywood with his specific brand of action and genre cinema. He developed the film around single concept—an anguished father determined to rescue his daughter—which is straightforward yet powerful. What distinguishes Taken is its relentless pursuit of this simple narrative; Bryan Mills is so singularly focused on his mission that considerations of legality and morality become secondary. Throughout his quest, Bryan not only breaks numerous laws but also resorts to torture and killing of anyone who stands in his way. This portrayal of vigilante justice evokes the ethos of 1970s and 1980s action films, where protagonists often operated outside the law in their quest for retribution.

    However, the script co-written by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen introduces an intriguing nuance before the chaos ensues: Bryan attempts diplomacy. During an unexpected phone call with Kim’s kidnapper (played by Arben Barjaktaraj), he proposes a peaceful compromise whereby the kidnapper would be left alone in exchange for Kim’s release. This moment raises ethical questions about accountability and justice; accepting such an arrangement would allow the villain to evade punishment for his crimes and potentially continue his nefarious activities. Yet, the film does not dwell on these moral complexities; instead, it positions Bryan as the unequivocal hero when the kidnapper predictably rejects his offer, further galvanising audience support for his violent crusade against sex traffickers. This pivotal conversation has since become the film's most memorable scene and has later inspired countless internet memes in a way only few other 21st Century films did.

    The effectiveness of this scene—and indeed the entire film—can be attributed to Pierre Morel's direction. A former cinematographer who has shown his propensity for action genre with 2004 directorial debut District 13, Morel expertly balances pacing with character development and thrilling action sequences. Morel's adeptness compensates for certain script shortcomings, such as some characters' one-dimensionality and subplots that feel extraneous—like Kim’s aspirations to become a pop star under tutelage of singer played by Holly Valance, which seem somewhat superfluous against the backdrop of her abduction.

    Interestingly, Neeson initially regarded the role of Bryan Mills with scepticism, fearing it would be just another forgettable direct-to-video film. Critics were generally dismissive of Taken, particularly given their usual disdain for action films and Besson's works. However, audiences embraced it wholeheartedly; Taken became a massive box office success that spawned sequels in 2012 and 2014 and even led to a television series featuring Clive Standen that aired for two seasons. Neeson transitioned from a primarily dramatic actor to one sought after for action roles akin to Mills.

    Some critics have pointed out the film's reliance on cliches, with most of the villains being of Muslim or Middle Eastern origin. However, the theme of sex trafficking and the exploitation of young women is a pressing issue in today's world, as evidenced by the revelations about Epstein's Island and similar scandals. "Taken" may not be a perfect film, but it is a thrilling action movie that has left a lasting impact on the genre and Neeson's career.

    RATING: 8/10 (+++)

  2. Movie: Taken from 2008@avatara767d

    Hello everyone, it was time to see something from the old days, so traveling back in time. Have you seen Taken with Liam Neeson from 2008? I generally like the guy and have seen quite a few of his movies and most of them I thought were good. So it was fun to see it again because I didn't remember it exactly, so it's extra fun.😃

    The film is an action thriller directed by Pierre Morel where Liam Neeson plays a former CIA agent Bryan Mills. He must rescue his daughter Kim, played by Maggie Grace, after she and her friend are kidnapped in Paris. And Bryan must find them before it's too late, starting his intense hunt with adrenaline-filled action that captures attention from start to finish with cool scenes. We encounter human trafficking, crime and clever plot turns. The film was well received for its suspense and Neeson's performance, and it became the start of a successful film series. So if you like this one, you will probably like numbers 2 and 3, which are also available. I think I liked them all, cant recall, but this one gets a solid 8. It reminds me a bit of Man on fire with Denzel Washington https://ecency.com/hive-166847/@avatara/man-on-fire-with-denzel

    Here is a trailer.😃

  3. Taken is a legendary action movie [eng/esp]@fabian98809d

    What would you do if a member of your family went missing in an unfamiliar country? Well, if it was a super spy or secret government agent you would do anything and even use your special skills to try to rescue your family member from danger or death.

    That is the idea presented by the film Relentless Search, a rather mythical saga that tells the story of agent Bryan Mills' life in his relentless quest to rescue his daughter from the old European mafia before it is too late, as he only has 96 hours to rescue her before he loses her forever.

    ¿Qué harías un miembro de tu familia desapareciera en un país que no conoce? Pues si fuera un súper espía o agente secreto del gobierno harías lo que fuera e incluso con el uso de tus habilidades especiales para tratar de rescatar a tu familiar del peligro o la muerte.

    Esa es la idea que nos presenta la película de búsqueda implacable una saga bastante mítica que nos cuenta la vida del agente Bryan Mills en su búsqueda implacable por rescatar a su hija de la mafia de la vieja Europa antes de que sea demasiado tarde ya que solamente dispone del 96 horas para rescatarla antes de perderla para siempre.

    scale.jpg Source

    The film has a plot that could be said to be simple but is quite deep, for example it begins with Bryan as a retired government agent, who is also a divorced father. Brian's daughter wants to go to a concert of her favorite band in Europe. But even though she is an underage girl her mother and father trusts her and grants her permission not knowing that she would be facing one of the biggest dangers in Europe, human trafficking.

    When Brian's daughter arrives in France she is immediately kidnapped by the Albanian mafia, so Brian uses a short 36-hour window to try to locate his daughter and catch those involved which leads him to uncover a vast network of corruption in French law enforcement.

    La película tiene una trama que pudiera decirse que es sencilla pero es bastante profunda, por ejemplo comienza con Bryan como un agente retirado del gobierno, que también es un padre divorciado. La hija de Brian desea ir a un concierto de su banda favorita por Europa. Pero aunque es una muchacha menor de edad su madre y su padre confía en ella y le concede en el permiso sin saber que estaría enfrentándose a uno de los mayores peligros en europa, la trata de personas.

    Cuando llega la hija de Brian a Francia inmediatamente es secuestrada por la mafia albanesa, así que Brian usa una corta ventana de 36 horas para tratar de localizar a su hija y atrapar a quienes están involucrados lo cual lo lleva a destapar una gran red de corrupción de las fuerzas del orden francesas.

    I consider this one of the best action movies of all time, it is impossible not to mention relentless pursuit, since the action sequences are extremely impeccable. Also the dialogues are quite impressive, giving a lot of depth to the story and true sense, it is also a story that keeps you trapped from the beginning to the end. Even its sequels also have a certain relationship with the first part, which makes the whole saga have a uniform sense.

    Another thing that stood out about this movie is Liam Nesson's own performance, as despite his advanced age he is still one of Hollywood's heavyweights or badasses in action movies. They even had to adapt action scenes for him in this relentless pursuit saga, and these same dozens of action adaptations at the time of filming were implemented in other movies of his that are also action movies.

    Considero esta una de las mejores películas de acción de todos los tiempos es imposible no mencionar a búsqueda implacable, ya que la secuencias de acción son sumamente impecables. Ademas los diálogos son bastante impresionantes, dándole mucha profundidad a la historia y verdadero sentido, también es una historia que te mantiene atrapado desde que comienza hasta que termina. Incluso sus continuaciónes también guarda cierta relación con la primera parte, lo cual hace que la saga completa tengo un sentido uniforme.

    Otra cosa que destacó de esta película es la propia actuación de liam Nesson, ya que a pesar de su avanzada edad sigue siendo uno de los pesos pesados de hollywood o todo un badass en películas de acción. Incluso tuvieron que adaptar escenas de acción para él en esta saga de búsqueda implacable, y estas mismas adaptaciones decenas de acción al momento de grabarlas las implementaron en otras películas de él que también son de acción.

    So in conclusion my opinion about this movie is that it is something quite impressive is a very good movie to enjoy on a weekend or even to enjoy after a pretty heavy workday. It is a movie that involves action the feelings the drama and above all a high level investigation as well as popular series like criminal minds or CSI would do. So it is 100% recommended and to top it off it has two movies that follow it that are also quite good and as I said before they have the same storyline.

    So if you want to enjoy a good movie I recommend relentless pursuit or taken in English. But now it's your turn, have you seen this movie, what were your impressions and would you recommend it? Leave me your opinion in the comments thank you very much for reading see you until the next review.

    Así que en conclusión mi opinión sobre esta película es que es algo bastante impresionante es una película muy buena para disfrutar en un fin de semana o incluso para disfrutar después de una jornada laboral bastante pesada. Es una película que envuelve la acción los sentimientos el drama y sobre todo una investigación de alto nivel así como lo harían series populares como criminal minds o CSI. Así que está 100% recomendada y por si fuera poco tiene dos películas que le suceden que también son bastante buenas y como comenté anteriormente tienen un mismo hilo argumental.

    Así que si quieres disfrutar una buena película te recomiendo búsqueda implacable o taken en inglés. Pero ahora te toca a ti ¿has visto esta película? ¿Cuáles han sido tus impresiones? ¿La recomendarías? Déjame tu opinión en los comentarios muchas gracias por leer nos vemos hasta una próxima reseña.

    Hello, internet people, just yesterday I saw a movie I had never seen before, and it was on the recommendation of my cousin, it's a 2008's film, Taken, starring Liam Neeson and directed by Pierre Morel. Without further ado, let's break this film down.

    Hola, gente de internet, justo ayer vi un película que no había visto nunca, y fue por recomendación de mi prima, se trata de Búsqueda Implacable ,película de 2008, protagonizada por Liam Neeson y dirigida por Pierre Morel. Sin más dilación, desglosemos esta película.

    separador cine (2) - copia.png

    The story places us in the shoes of Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) who must search for his daughter, who was kidnapped along with her best friend by a prostitution ring on a trip to Paris. As a former government agent, Bryan uses all his knowledge and experience to find his daughter.

    La historia nos sitúa en los zapatos de Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) quien debe buscar a su hija, la cual fue secuestrada junto a su mejor amiga por una organización de trata de blancas, en un viaje a París. Dado a que Bryan es ex agente gubernamental, pone en práctica todos sus conocimientos y experiencias para hallar a su hija.

    While we are on the subject of the story, I must also mention the performances. I think the best scene is undoubtedly the kidnapping scene: In this one, you literally feel the uncertainty, the pressure and the fear. The reactions of both actors are quite genuine, everything conveys to the viewer the fear that one feels in such a situation. This scene is extremely good.

    Ya que hablamos de la historia, debo mencionar también las actuaciones. Creo que sin dudas la mejor escena es la del secuestro: En esta escena literalmente se siente la incertidumbre, la presión y el miedo. Las reacciones de ambos actores son bastante genuinas, todo transmite al espectador el miedo que se siente ante tal situación, es en extremo buena.

    The soundtrack is quite in keeping with the film and its genre, of course it helps to set the mood, the tension, the action, each melody is quite well distributed.

    La banda sonora es bastante acorde a la película y su género, claro que ayuda a poner en situación, la tensión, la acción, cada melodía está bastante bien distribuía.

    The photography is quite simple as is the colour palette, it is certainly made to convey real life, so these elements are kept simple, because that is what we see when we go out on the street (I hope I can explain myself well). It is not done in an artistic or presumptuous way, but from a more realistic point of view to put us in the situation as viewers.

    La fotografía es bastante simple al igual que la paleta de colores, ciertamente está hecha para transmitir la vida real, por lo que estos elementos se mantienen de forma simple, porque es lo que vemos al salir a la calle (espero poder explicarme bien). No está hecha de forma artística ni presuntuosa, sino desde un punto de vista más realista para ubicarnos en situación como espectadores.

    Because the film is from Ryan's point of view, we discover the clues with him, we can get stressed with him, frustrated with him and angry with him. I think the cohesion and distribution of the story is very well done and we feel great satisfaction when the protagonist slowly gets his way. This film is adept at making us empathise with him even when he does the wrong things.

    Debido a que la película está desde el punto de vista de Ryan, vamos descubriendo las pistas con él, podemos estresarnos con él, frustrarnos con él y enojarnos con él. Creo que la cohesión y distribución a nivel de historia está muy bien hecha y sentimos gran satisfacción cuando el protagonista va logrando su cometido poco a poco. Esta película es experta en hacernos empatizar con él aún cuando hace cosas poco correctas.

    All in all, the film is quite good and although it has some continuity or technical errors, it is not serious enough. Do I recommend it? Of course I do! It's quite entertaining, the performances are top-notch and the story is impressive.

    En resumen, la película es bastante buena y aunque tiene algunos errores de continuidad o de tecnicismos, no es algo bastante grave. ¿La recomiendo? ¡por supuesto que sí! Es bastante entretenida, las actuaciones son de diez y la historia impresionante.

  5. [ENG-ESP] TAKEN from Steven Spielberg: My recommendation (REVIEW) - ABDUCIDOS de Steven Spielberg@fixie1597d

    Sin título.jpg

    Image

    Hello friends, I hope you are very well, today I want to recommend a miniseries that I saw a long time ago and that for the future I have seen again and the result has been better than I expected since I was able to enjoy it in a better way, I think the experience of the years help to better understand certain things and ideas. This miniseries is called Taken, which in Spanish translates as Abducted, and tells us about the drama of 3 generations and 3 families throughout the last 70 years of United States history. Being Steven Spielberg the executive director, in my opinion it has a great seal of quality because it has everything: suspense, science fiction, drama and some action scenes.
    Hola amigos, espero que se encuentren muy bien, hoy quiero recomendar una miniserie que vis hace mucho tiempo y que por furtuna he vuelto a ver y el resultado ha sido mejor de lo que esperaba ya que pude disfrutarla de una mejor manera, creo que la experiencia de los años ayudan a comprender mejor ciertas cosas e ideas. Esta miniserie se llama Taken, que en español se traduce como Abducidos, y nos habla del drama de una 3 generaciones y 3 familias a lo largo de los últimos 70 años de la historia de los Estados Unidos. Al ser Steven Spielberg el director ejecutivo a mi parcer tiene un gran sello de calidad pues lo tiene todo: suspenso, ciencia ficción, drama y algunas escenas de acción.

    To talk a little about the structure of this miniseries I have to say that it is very short, it only consists of 10 chapters so it is irrelevant to skip a chapter to delve into the story since from the first chapter the scenes look so good that it is easy to understand that it is well spun. Apart from that, it narrates through the chapters relevant events in the history of the United States that give it an impressive realism.
    Para hablar un poco acerca de la estructura de esta miniserie he de decir que es muy corta, solo consta de 10 capítulos por lo que es irrelevante saltarse algun capítulo para adentrarse en la historia ya que desde el primer capítulo las escenas pintan tan bien que es facil entender que esta bien hilada. A parte de ello, narra a través de los capítulos acontecimientos relevantes de la historia de Estados Unidos que le otrogan un realismo impresionante.

    In this story the main premise is to introduce us to the drama of 3 families in different generations that reach our days (2002) and UFO sightings are used as a unifying element, the case of Roswell to understand human vicissitudes and the transit in emotions such as love, hate, cruelty, abandonment in contrast to the attitude of visitors from outer space. This element is very well focused and does nothing more than lead the viewer to deep reflection, which happened to me.

Este elemento está muy bien enfocado y no hace más que llevar al espectador a una profunda reflexión, cosa que a mi me sucedió.

    The third character and I think she represents the human virtues is Salley Clarke, a working woman victim of an abusive and senseless marriage, mother of two children. She is abandoned by her husband and will soon find sentimental refuge in a true stranger, that romance will be the trigger for the union of the 3 families in a destiny that will lead them towards something that surpasses anything that man has created or imagined in all his life. history. Salley represents a symbol, and I invite you to investigate the etymology of this word, you will understand what I mean if you have the pleasure of watching the series, it is a detail that is masterfully placed so that the viewer feels the ideal of belonging, commitment and loyalty.
    El tercer personaje y creo que es quien representa las virtudes humanas es Salley Clarke, una mujer trabajadora víctima de un matrimonio abusivo y sin sentido, madre de dos hijos. Es abandonada por su esposo y encontrará muy pronto refugio sentimental en un verdadero desconocido, ese romance será el detonante de la unión de las 3 familias en un destino que los llevará hacia algo que supera cualquier cosa que haya creado o imaginado el hombre n toda su historia. Salley representa un símbolo, y les invito a investigar la etimolgía de esta palabra, entenderán a lo que me refiero si tienen el gusto de observar la serie, es un detalle que está magistralmente colocado para que el espectador sienta el ideal de pertenencia, compromiso y lealtad.

    There is a 4th very important character but I prefer to keep his identity to myself to encourage your curiosity to unravel the secrets of this story. These people and their descendants will face abductions, persecutions, government conspiracies and in the midst of everything love, hate, obsession and power will flourish. One of the things that most calls my attention is the application of science, everything that man may be willing to do with the purpose of discovering everything that is unknown to him, will pose moral dilemmas regarding the application of science. , its results and consequences.

Una de las cosas que más me llama la atención es la aplicación de la ciencia, todo lo que puede estar dispuestos a hacer el hombre con el propósito de descubrir todo aquello que le es desconocido, planteará dilemas morales en cuanto a la aplicación de la ciencia, sus resultados y consecuencias.

    A point very much in its favor is that when taking the recent history of the United States, the references to the UFO culture are very well elaborated, because it is not simply what is joked about UFOs, but the most notorious cases, since be it the Roswell crash, people claiming to be abducted by spaceships, and the signs in crop fields around the world. All this is handled from two realms, one of them is what the Aliens are really doing on their visits to earth and the other realm is the efforts of the government to cover up the truth and at the same time try to understand that truth. Although the special effects are not that great, when compared to current productions, I feel that the drama is so well planned and executed by the actors that it becomes unimportant. The appearance of the Greys, as they are known, meets the theme of the series.
    Un punto muy a su a favor es que al tomar la historia reciente de los Estados Unidos, las referencia ala cultura OVNI estan muy bien elabroadas, porque no es simplemente lo que se bromea a cerca de los ovnis, sino los casos más sonados, ya sea el accidente de Roswell, las personas que aseguran ser abducidas por naves espaciales y las señales en los campos de cultivos alrededor del mundo. Todo esto es manejado desde dos ámbitos, uno de ellos es lo que realmente los Aliens están haciendo en sus visitas a la tierra y el otro ámbito son los esfuerzos del gobierno por encubrir la verdad y al mismo tiempo tratar de entender esa verdad. Si bien los efectos especiales no son tan fantásticos, si los comparamos con producciones actuales, siento que el drama está tan bien planteado y ejecutado por los actores que eso deja de tener importancia. La apariencia de los Grises, como son conocidos cumplen con la temática de la serie.

    As a final point and a personal appreciation of all the things that are raised in the series I think that the best and the most important is fear. This feeling is experienced in various ways by the characters over the years and the most beautiful and realistic conclusion is that human beings do evil because we are afraid, fear leads us to act in the worst ways and the basis of fear is the ignorance. The characters in each generation express fear that leads them to make mistakes, from which some learn and improve while others repeat them as a vicious circle where evil and cruelty increase. The aliens are a very well executed metaform about our fears as finite, weak and sensitive beings, but how love leads us to do great things for humanity.
    Como punto final y una apreciación personal de todas las cosas que se plantean en la serie creo que la mejor y la más importante es el miedo. Este sentimiento es experimentado de diversas formas por los personajes a través de los años y la conclusión más hermosa y realista es que los seres humanos hacemos el mal porque tenemos miedo, el miedo nos lleva a actuar de las peores formas y la base del miedo es la ignoracia. Los personajes en cada generación manifiestan miedo que los lleva a cometer errores, de los cuales unos aprenden y mejoran mientras que otros los repiten como un círculo vicioso donde la maldad y la crueldad van en aumento. Los aliens son una metáforma muy bien ejecutada acerca de nuestros miedos como seres finitos, débiles y sencibles, pero como el amor nos lleva a realizar grandes cosas en favor de la humanidad.

    If you like to reflect through cinema, this is your series, this is what you need. I don't really like to watch something just to pass the time, I give a lot of value to time to simply entertain myself, I like to learn through the five and this series is a brilliant reflection exercise by the master Steven Spielberg, being a miniseries of just 10 chapters you can see it easily and without hurry. When I saw it for the first time I was 17 years old, and there were not so many distractions as there are now, I have seen it again and the teaching and understanding has been different. It is my wholehearted recommendation. This has been my contribution. I hope you have a beautiful Saturday. See you soon.
    Si te gusta reflexionar a través del cine, esta es tu serie, esto es lo que necesitas. No me gusta mucho ver algo solo para pasar el rato, le doy mucho valor al tiempo como para simplemente entretenerme, me gusta aprender a través del cince y esta serie es un brillante ejercicio de reflexión del maestro Steven Spielberg, al ser una miniserie de solo 10 capítulos puedes verla con facilidad y sin prisa. Cuando la vi por primera vez tenia 17 años, y no existían tantas distracciones como ahora, la he visto de nuevo y la enseñanza y la comprensión ha sido diferente. Es mi recomendación de todo corazón.. Este ha sido mi aporte deseo que tengan un hermoso día de sábado. Hasta pronto.

  6. Фільм "Викрадена" ("Taken"), 2008р. Враження 🎞@occupy-mars1831d

    🎞 "Викрадена" ("Taken") - французький драматичний бойовик 2008 року режисера П'єра Мореля, продюсера і сценариста Люка Бессона. У ролях: Ліам Нісон, Фамке Янссен, Меггі Грейс, Леленд Орсер та інші.

    trailer_13444.jpg

    💬 За сюжетом, головний герой має 17-річну доньку, але він не живе із сім'єю. Та з донькою має дуже гарні стосунки. Тут вона попросилася полетіти з подругою до Парижа. Батько був спочатку проти, але врешті дозволив полетіти, тільки сказав, щоб вона дзвонила, дав їй телефон. Прилетівши з подругою до Парижа, вони одразу познайомилися з якимсь хлопцем, він їх підвіз до будинку. Подружка "промовилась", що вони тут житимуть самі і дівчата пішли освоюватись у квартирі. І одразу в ту квартиру потрапили незнайомці і викрали дівчат. Та дочка головного героя якраз говорила з ним по телефону і встигла сказати татові, як виглядає викрадач. Тепер місія батька буде повернути доньку попри все, і з цього моменту починається детективний екшн.

    Трейлер (англійською):

    ✅ Фільм переглядається "на одному диханні", він дуже динамічний, але цим і цікавий. Головний герой "мочить всіх", аби знайти доньку, і саме цей шлях і складає основу сюжету. Рекомендую всім, хто любить подібний жанр. До речі, є ще дві наступні частини: "Викрадена" (2012) і "Заручниця" (2015) з тими ж акторами.

  7. Io vi troverò (Taken): un bel film d'arti marziali@claudio832455d

    Se siete amanti del genere arti marziali spaccaossa, e non avete molte pretese sulla trama, Io vi troverò è un film ideale per voi. A me piace molto il genere, quindi ha un pubblico abbastanza selettivo, e mi piace molto Liam Neeson come attore e devo dire che il film ha raccolto un discreto successo tanto da farne un trilogia.

    La storia narra del soldato in congedo Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) e della figlia Kim, in viaggio a Parigi assieme ad un'amica. Il viaggio finisce bruscamente con il rapimento delle due ragazze ma Kim riesce ad avvisare il padre con un messaggio vocale , poco prima di essere catturata. In Bryan si risveglia l'agente segreto della CIA che è in lui ed inizia una caccia spietata ai rapitori.

    Di fondo vi è la tematica del terrorismo e dello sfruttamento delle donne costrette a prostituirsi dai loro padroni. La storia si svolge anche in una città , quella di Parigi multietnica, in cui la criminalità riesce ad organizzarsi, a volte anche con l'appoggio di qualche personaggio di spicco.

    Le scene del film sono molto veloci, di cui gran parte sono d'azione, di quelle che ti tengono incollate allo schermo. Io vi troverò è una produzione francese ed ha avuto un grande riscontro in America e non solo. La durata è minima con 73 minuti di pellicola. Con un badget di appena 25 milioni di dollari, ne ha incassati oltre 200!
