If you are in any way familiar with the movie "Taken," you will find the similarities between it and this movie to be either insulting or laughable. They didn't even have the decency to come up with a unique title; they just stuck a colon on Taken and added something.
To get the gist of this movie, just take "Taken," move it to Moscow from Paris, change Liam Neeson to Julie Benz. There is almost an exact copying of characters from Taken to this bit of cinematic effluent; Peter/Bobby, Sam/and the hairy Russian hacker whose name escapes me, etc. The big difference is that it takes two women to equal one Liam Neeson. For bonus face-palming, the heroine Stevie Parker/50% Bryan Casey even manages to rip off Jason Bourne in "The Bourne Supremacy" when she clandestinely pairs her cell phone with one of the slavers phone in a nightclub.
The only thing to review about this movie, and the only way I managed to get through it without self-mutilating, was watch for things and even lines stolen from "Taken". There's nothing new or original here; it's just insulting. If there were a zero rating, I would give it that. As it is, it gets a one-star bonus for making me laugh (even if it was in derision).
