- A retired CIA agent travels across Europe and relies on his old skills to save his estranged daughter, who has been kidnapped while on a trip to Paris. Taken is a great action packed thriller that will not disappoint you. The action leaves you at the edge of your seat and gives you that rush! and it just never stop. It's a huge thrill ride that leaves you eager and makes your heartbeat. A simple but good idea executed well by the director. It does more then enough to keep you entertained. It get's very intense and thrilling at times too. A movie with intense non-stop action through out. What more could you want? Liam Neeson does superbly in his role as an ex-spy, who is professionally trained to kill, that goes save his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) after she is kidnapped (taken). The length of the film could be longer but it's still a decent amount of time as the action never stops. If your looking for a really fast paced action packed, you can do much worse than Taken.
- Taken earns its place in the library because it does something increasingly rare: it tells one story, tells it quickly and leaves before the machinery begins demanding a universe. Liam Neeson is the main reason it remains worth revisiting. Bryan Mills could have been an invulnerable action figure, but Neeson gives him the awkwardness of a father who knows how to protect people professionally and has no idea how to recover the years he missed at home. The karaoke machine versus the stepfather’s horse establishes the problem rather neatly. Once Kim is kidnapped, the film becomes an efficient procedural. Bryan studies the telephone recording, examines a photograph, follows physical clues and treats each violent encounter as a route to the next piece of information. The action is fast, readable and appropriately brutal without turning into a two-hour effects demonstration. The telephone speech still lands despite years of imitation. Neeson does not perform it like a slogan. He sounds as though he is stating the terms of an unfortunate but unavoidable transaction. The weaknesses are easier to see now. The trafficking scenario is designed around a sensational stranger-abduction model rather than the more common patterns of grooming, coercion and exploitation. The villains are ethnically coded with little subtlety, and the women being trafficked are mostly anonymous objects in Bryan’s story. Kim’s psychological recovery is replaced by a cheerful final visit to a singing coach. None of that makes the film useless as entertainment. It simply means the film should not be mistaken for social education. A compact, satisfying rewatch with a strong lead performance, an excellent central sequence and very little wasted motion. The sequels would make everything larger. The original is better because it remains small enough to feel personal.
- Taken is one of those action films that instantly rewired how people saw Liam Neeson. Up to that point, he was a respected dramatic actor; afterward, he was the middle-aged action hero. As Bryan Mills, he brings a mix of weary dad energy and terrifying competence that sells every fight, interrogation, and chase. The movie itself is lean and efficient—no bloated subplots, just a tight race against time through a grimy underworld. And of course, there’s the legendary “particular set of skills” phone speech. Whenever I watch it with friends, at least one person can’t resist reciting those lines along with him. It’s become a pop culture staple for a reason. While the sequels never quite recaptured the same lightning, the original Taken deserves full credit for kicking off a new phase of Neeson’s career and delivering a brutally satisfying, endlessly rewatchable revenge thriller. Great flick, every time.
- Slick, Punchy and Brutal - Taken is one of the better action films out there, and among the top of those in the 00's. Taken really is one of those simple action films that just works. It doesn't get bogged down by too much character work or world building. It knows exactly what it is and does not disappoint. The standout element for me is the pacing, this 90 minute murder-fest doesn't waste a second, each scene bleeds so naturally into the next but knows when to slow down to give your brain (and your eyes) a break. As much as I've gushed over the film thus far, it's not perfect. The fight scenes are a bit choppy (I imagine due to Neeson not being the worlds best brawler) and the violence seems a little tame at times, That guy got shot in the head, I would like to see some blood please. You have an 18 rating, you might as well use it. Choppy, bloodless fights aside, Taken looks and sounds the part, Liam Neeson's famous phone call will forever be in my ears.
