Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Taken starts in low gear and almost immediately stalls out.
Rotten: It's fun for about 15 minutes seeing Neeson do James Bond as Daddy Dangerous. But the surprise wears off quickly.
Fresh: With some suspension of disbelief and a strong stomach, it's possible to get taken in, or at least absorbed, by this adrenaline-pumping action thriller.
Fresh: [Director] Morel keeps Taken moving swiftly. It's never dragged down by excess feelings; instead, it's powered by the potency of the right ones.
Customer Reviews
best movie~full of everything you want in an action/adventure movie.
This movie is by far one of the best movies i have seen. Its one of those kind of movies that make you feel how they characters do kind of thing. It has so many action parts and makes you open your eyes. It made me realize how careful you should be when you first meet someone and not to give out to much information. This movie lets you see sex traffiking from a horrifying prospective and makes me realize how that still goes on in some third world countries and thats its so wrong. i never thought about it until this movie. its my favorite movie and everyone should see it!
A SUPRISE HIT
Taken is one of those movies where you don't expect much, after 2 hours you finally walk out of the theater and you won't shut up about the movie. In the movie you have that jittery feeling where you're so excited that you could run a marathon. The movie was a box office succes. If you like watching those murder,mystery shows(an exaple is CSI: miami) then this is what you have been waiting for.
Taken
Awesome movie. I personally have rated this movie in my top 5 all-time favorite and best.
