"Taken," which has been out overseas for a while now, has come to America to kick some mall cop butt. For those that have seen this movie, know that "Taken" will come out on DVD with an extended cut.
All other films did mediocre for Super Bowl weekend. Next weekend is going to have a big influx of new movies, so the competition is high. Which film do you think will become America's new top movie?

And so did the rest of America.
I will have to go see it now (not like I didn't want to in the first place).
