The Observer - Moves at the speed of a high velocity bullet, Variety - Widescreen package is technically slick at all levels, and ditto the action choreography..., Time Out London - Pierre MorelÆs directing style is ruthlessly efficient
Consumer Advice
Contains strong violence and extended scene of torture
Additional Information
Liam Neeson is an unstoppable force in this adrenaline-fuelled thriller from director Pierre Morel. Bryan (Neeson) has taken early retirement from the CIA in order to live closer to his teenage daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace). Bryan's government work kept him away from Kim for much of her childhood, and he's now trying to make up for lost time. When Kim announces that she's taking a trip to Paris with her friend Amanda (Katie Cassidy), Bryan is apprehensive about her travelling on her own. His worst fear is soon realized, as Kim and Amanda are abducted upon their arrival in France. Bryan immediately springs into action, using his well-honed CIA skills to piece together clues from a single, frantic phone call he received from Kim. He hops a plane to Paris, determined to rescue his daughter before she falls off the grid completely. With some help from his old CIA buddies, he tracks down the kidnappers--an Albanian crime ring known for selling young girls into the sex trade. He quickly takes matters into his own hands, plowing his way through Paris's underworld as the clock ticks down and the bullets fly. His search propels him into the upper echelons of a massive crime ring, putting him closer and closer to his beloved daughter.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Neeson is known for tackling extremely cerebral roles, so it is interesting to see him in full-on action-hero mode. In TAKEN he is no less than a crime-fighting machine--a Bourne/Bond hybrid with a deathly serious baritone. And while he spends most of the film firing Uzis and snapping necks, he still manages to deliver a moving performance as an estranged father fighting for what he loves most in the world. The film undeniably owes a lot to Neeson's acting chops. He manages to raise this rather thinly plotted, deeply violent film a bar above your typical action fare.

    Ridiculous but still worth a watch

    An action-packed, violent and unbelievable thriller is still enjoyable to watch due to the quality of the leading man and the unrelenting fast-pace of the direction. Our good guy brings down an entire empire of evil, driven by the love he has for his daughter. If you fancy a thinking-free break for an hour or so and like watching the bad guys get it, this could be the film for you!

  • Taken DVD

    Liam Neeson actually comes across realistically as an ex CIA killing machine that single mindedly chases those that kidnapped his daughter. It's easy to become involved and cheer him on when he starts taking care of business. One on one he seems unbeatable but he's also good at sneaking up on people to give them the good news. It's James Bond stuff with an element of malice and of course realism is not the order of the day. It kicks things off is the telephone scene when he explains to the kidnappers that he has a particular set of skills that make him a nightmare for people like them. Action, depth of character and some great scenery lead you through a simple plot but an exciting 90 minutes.

  • Great film.

    Seat of your pants viewing. OTT but entertaining. Better than the following ones ,so l have been reliably told.
