Film Critic Quote of the Week

David Edelstein, on "Taken":

The script, by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, panders to macho American wet dreams that feel distinctly antiquated in the new age of American non-exceptionalism. And in a just universe, the idea that rich white American virgins are the prime targets of sex-slavers would make tens of thousands of captive underage Asian girls rise up shouting, “That is the last straw!”
But as Dick Cheney has taught us, it's very important to be very fucking afraid, all the time.
