    Have given up with the work, so now home alone sitting with a beer trying to decide a film to watch.

    Got it down to Shutter Island or Taken, never seen both of them before, so any opinions lads? Is one of them insane/****? Don't want to waste 2 hours.

    Cheers :)

    Taken is quiet good IMO.. worth the watch I'll say. Haven't seen Shutter Island though.

    Currently watching Taken on Channel 4 as we speak...

    ...Shutter Island is quality. I really like DeCaprio, don't think he's done a poor film (bar Titanic).

    People told me Shutter Island was a massive head ****, but it truly isn't...It's not a simple boy meets girl storyline granted, but it's entertaining to watch and got some great acting.

    Taken seems more about the action than suspense/drama...It's well made and Neeson is a ****in legend let's be honest.

    My suggestion is; if you want action (Bourne-esque but not quite as slick) go for Taken, if you fancy something a bit more 3 dimensional go for Shutter Island!

  7. I haven't seen Shutter Island, but Taken is a brilliant action film. Liam Neeson is class.

    I won't give away too much of the story, but it's basically about a retired CIA agent that has to save his daughter.

    Class film, probably one of my favourites since the Bourne series.

    Yeah, she's just about to leave now, and I kinda gathered something would happen, and from the title 'Taken' I kinda guessed, quite excited then, I loved the bourne's

    I'd rate Shutter Island above Taken. Top top film.

    Both are good mind <ok>

    Both films are quality, Taken is the best action film of the 2000's IMO

    Both good films!

    Taken - very good action film and easy viewing. Neeson class as always. Would recommend this if you just want to relax and let the action flow over you.

    Shutter Island - also very good but requires a bit more concentration to follow the plot. Best viewed when you're feeling in the mood to follow a film closely.

    But reckon you can't go far wrong with either.
