I'm glad they're having so much success, but I'm not sure international would be a good idea. The entire premise is something of American concern, and the whole attempt at mass media destroying it wouldn't go full Streisand Effect elsewhere. Just my opinion though, I'd welcome being wrong.
European Taken would have been 80 minutes of the father on the phone trying to get the police to take the situation seriously before accepting he did everything he could.
That reminds me a bit of a French film called The Prey, starring one of my personal favourite actors, Albert Dupontel.
Long story short, guy's family gets targeted by a child-trafficking rapist who he was in prison with, and the guy stops at nothing to protect his family and personally deal with the child rapist.
It was a pretty cool film.
In many ways, Taken also felt more like a Western European film than a typical American film. The way it was shot and paced reminded me a lot of Snabba Cash and Headhunters.
You don't think the movie can stand on its own?
I would see it, am not American. Story sounds interesting in its own.
It will probably be shown in smaller non-chain cinemas that show a lot of indie films.
