TYLER TALKS
In 2008, Liam Neeson thrilled movie watchers across the country with his convincing performance of a desperate father searching for his kidnapped daughter. The familiar quote “If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you”, drew movie goers to the theatres in droves as Taken raked in over 220 million dollars at the box office.
Fast forward to today and Agent Mills is back in action in Taken 2, which debuted on DVD and Blu-Ray this morning! The week features seven new releases in total with a brief synopsis of each below;
