On a recent trip to visit my sister, I had a night of insomnia. The extra bedroom I was using had a small TV, a DVD player, and some movies, so I decided I might as well pass the time by watching one of them. I picked Taken, a 2008 action movie I had never seen before.
This meant that I finally got to appreciate the context for what has become something of a jokey catch-phrase from the movie — “I have a very particular set of skills” — which isn’t quite an exact quotation, though that doesn’t matter much.
