Ode to Misha

She is so gorgeous and tender. Her name is Karina. She loves Misha. And she loves sleeping a lot. She looks like a star, look yourself how she poses for my camera))) Karina and Misha talks a language that is known only to them. Misha incredibly takes care of Karina and treats her like a princess.

 She feels the power in her paws that can manipulate himself. But Misha never changes. Because it is his nature - to love and protect those who are one step behind his mind. Who is this pure mankind?!!!

Film Review: Taken-2

Olivier Megaton, born as Fontana is a French film maker, director, script writer and graffiti artist. His own style and character served to bring him to a contemporary cinematography. The films «Columbiana», «Red Siren», «Tranformer-3», «Taken» have already attracted millions of viewers. Taken-2, an action thriller, the sequel of Taken continues the story of the capture of retired CIA agent Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) and his ex-wife Lenore. Previously being tortured Kim in Taken, the daughter of an agent escapes from gangsters risking her life. While Murad, the leader of an Albanian gang and the vengeful father of Marco takes a word at the funerals to avenge his loved son willing to kill an agent. Ex –spy Bryan, who killed the youngest son of Murad in previous Taken had to fight with an army of killers in Taken-2. Where Kim makes a strong decision to assist her father despite of his odds. The daughter follows her father's  instructions through telephone and manages to find the destination of the kidnapped parents. After abandoning from torture Bryan  rescues the daughter and delivers her to the American Embassy. Lenore remains bleeding and wounded in the enemy's territory. Determined Bryan returns to the garage where Lenore was left. He finds Murad disarmed then offers to spare his life and forget vendetta...

Here we see Luc Besson's script outlining the current gangland culture and its a vengeful nature. While the director uses strong visual effects with the car explosions and gunshots. The plot is still credible and keeps the viewer believing in the idea. The distinctive feature of the film is credibility. Because the story itself seems to be incredible: how a man can kill an army of killers, but sympathy and attraction to a main character Liam Neeson put the viewer into a dilemma. Another bright scene is when the daughter, following her father's instructions races with gangsters, keeps the viewer in doubt because she has no driving licence – looks risky.

Taken-2 highlights several issues like: vendetta, the damaging effect of divorce on family members, and overall antagonism towards America and Americans. Despite of  the critic's poor review the film has been a  resounding the box office success: a 45$ million budget has returned 375$ million globally. The success is mainly due to Liam Neeson's powerful performance allied to the director Oliver Megaton's captivating use of visual language. The soundtrack successfully matches the film's theme and gives it essential power to make production  more vivid and effective.

I would recommend this film particularly to a younger generation +16 that are often  influenced by extremist authorities.
