Taken (2008)

Qual Bourne? Qual Bond?

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Mr. Bryan Mills!

Basicamente o filme é sobre um ex-agente da CIA que vem à Europa salvar a filha que foi raptada, e vai matar toda a gente que se meter à sua frente.

TRAILER

A minha avaliação: 9/10 – IMDB

Agora, para quem não sabe, existem duas versões do filme. Uma para os EUA, e outra para a Europa. O filme é uma produção francesa, daí existerem as versões Rated e Unrated. Eu vi a Unrated, e se vão ver o filme, vejam esta versão. Este comic descreve na perfeição a diferença entre as duas.

Ed Ulbrich (Vencedor do Oscar para Best Visual Effects) dá uma conferência sobre o método utilizado para “envelhecer” o Brad Pitt no “Estranho Caso de Benjamin Button”. Vale a pena ver.

Confirmou-se – O Heath lá ganhou o Oscar (na minha opinião injustamente), e a pior parte foi quando a família teve de arrastar o corpo até ao palco para receber o prémio :$ (sorry…)

Aqui, tal como eu previ (a minha única previsão, sinceramente) o “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” recebeu o Oscar para Melhores Efeitos Visuais.
