Robert P @Superbad Sep 7, 2026 Taken = a *3.5* star Movie! See more Hayden T @RT84200025 Aug 5, 2026 Very good action movie See more Michael P @TheeMichael-jai Jul 23, 2026 It isn't awful for what it is-- and it certainly isn't anything but a dad movie. See more azeem H @Azeem1 Jul 8, 2026 To see that Empire gave this one star when it first came out is a genuine surprise. This film is an absolute classic in action and Liam Neeson monologuing. Yes it's jingoistic, yes it's quite racist. Yet that's why we love it. See more Chris S @Janomi Jun 26, 2026 Taken is proof that a simple premise, executed well, can be incredibly effective. A retired CIA operative has 96 hours to rescue his kidnapped daughter, and the movie wastes almost no time getting there. The stakes are clear from the start, the pacing is relentless, and every scene pushes Bryan Mills closer to his goal. Liam Neeson delivers the performance that reinvented his career. As Bryan Mills, he combines intelligence, quiet confidence, and ruthless determination into one of the most memorable action heroes of the 2000s. His "particular set of skills" speech remains one of the genre's most iconic moments. Director Pierre Morel keeps the tension high throughout, while Maggie Grace gives the story enough emotional grounding to make Bryan's mission feel personal. The plot doesn't break much new ground, and some villains are fairly one-dimensional, but the focused story, brisk pacing, and Neeson's commanding performance make Taken one of the best modern action thrillers. See more Jens B @Jens97 May 30, 2026 It’s always those Albanians... Liam Neeson channels Bronson, and the result is a pretty entertaining 90 minutes of film. The only bummer is that the editing and camerawork completely ruin the action. Still, I had plenty of fun. See more Read all reviews
