Directed by Pierre Morel and written by Luc Besson, the English-language French action-thriller film Taken was initially released in February 2008, followed by the box office premiere in the United States on January 30th, 2009. In the film, the line is uttered by the protagonist character Bryan Mills (portrayed by Liam Neeson), a retired C.I.A operative and divorced dad in search of his missing teenage daughter, in a telephone conversation during which Mills speaks with the kidnappers of his daughter for the first time. I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. 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.
My son Matthew was three years old at the time of his brutal murder. He was the best thing in my life, and then he was gone, and I’ve been serving a life sentence ever since. Not metaphorically. Or should I say, not just metaphorically. This would be a life sentence no matter what, even if I hadn’tbeen arrested and tried and convicted. The story has similarities with one of my favorite Korean series “ Defendant” and the famous TV show/ Harrison Ford’s remake movie “Fugitive “! It hooks you up from the beginning! It captivates your heart, your soul, your mind at the same time. You cannot stop finishing. The pressure escalates at each chapter. You chant for David, screaming “ Run! Run! Run!” Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own. Five years ago, an innocent man began a life sentence for murdering his own son. Today he found out his son is still alive.David is serving time in prison for murder. The victim…his son Matthew. David has maintained his innocence from day one, but don’t they all? Everyone has long since moved on with their lives. Now five years into his sentence, his now (ex) sister-in-law Rachel pays him a visit. She hands David a picture of a boy in an amusement park. A boy with a striking resemblance to his deceased son Matthew! David has been serving time for 5 years for the murder of his 3-year-old son, Matthew. A visit from his sister-in-law, Rachel, changes everything.
I Will Find You is an OTT thriller about a prison break, a case of mistaken identity, and a startling revelation.
How can David prove to everyone that son is still alive? Surely this is proof positive! Who will listen? Equally important, who on the outside will help him? I’m now used to Weber narrating Coben stories and he’s the perfect choice for his kind of storytelling. He’s gifted and he helped ratchet up the tension and excitement. And, he does sarcasm like no other. This drama is definitely a wonderful watch, especially if viewers want to better understand life in Shanghai. The depiction is authentic and realistic. It has provided me self-searching calls to look deeper into myself and to want to become a better person for others. The universe in this story is extremely tiny. There are too many coincidences. The characters are too close to everyone. I Will Find You is a stand-alone story, although there is an appearance by an old favourite and a nod to another. In no way though so you need to read any other books to understand this one. This is the story of David, a man who has bene in prison for the last 5 years for the murder of his 3-year-old son, Matthew. He has always said that he was innocent, but guilty of not protecting him. Now, a photo has come to his attention, and it shows a boy that looks exactly like his son. And there the wild ride begins.
Rewatch Value 8.5 This is a feel-good drama you can watch to unwind after a long day to destress, or watch an episode here and there in between daily life. Imprisoned for life, refusing visitors and accepting his fate. Learning to defend himself, it seems he has survived thus far. Life turns sharply when David’s sister-in-law Rachel turns up unannounced. What she has to say will spur David to emerge from his languor and fight for his son and his freedom. David Burroughs is five years into a life sentence for the brutal murder of his three year old son Matthew. Except he’s innocent which, of course, most inmates would say. However, his first ever prison visitor over those years is his sister in law Rachel who shows him something that gives us pause for thought and consider that he might, just might, be telling the truth. Rachel is a former investigative journalist, so can she help David to set the truth free? Overall though, let’s ignore those two clowns because at the end of the day, I’m entertained as usual by an author whose books I always look forward to diving into.For five years, he’s been serving for a crime he didn’t commit. But things change with the visit of sister-in-law Rachel who was an ex journalist. Rachel shows her a photo that proves his son Matthew is still alive! This drama is an eye opening for international viewers on how brutal and stressful it is to live in a city like Shanghai. As a realtor, the work is hard and the competition is fierce. But most of all, all denizens in the city work extra-ordinarily hard and they are determined to achieve their goals, overcoming any obstacles that come their way. It also depicts all walks of life in the city – the good, the bad and the ugly. The good ones are beautiful and heart-warming, and the bad ones are ugly, greedy and unethical. This was the most un-Harlan Coben book by Harlan Coben I think I have read, which isn’t a bad thing. I like it when an author can take me by surprise by completely changing up their vibe and giving me something that feels unique to them, yet remains in their wheelhouse. Riveting pacing, Coben’s usual sarcastic, entertaining tone, great characterization made you invest in this thriller. It’s pure addiction! And the jaw dropping twists, absolutely satisfying conclusion provides you one of the best reading experiences. Special thanks to Grand Central Publishing for sharing this AMAZING digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.
