While overseeing security at a concert for pop star Sheerah ( Holly Valance ), Bryan saves her from an armed attacker. Out of gratitude, Sheerah offers to have Kim assessed as a singer. Before Bryan can tell Kim, she asks her father for permission to travel to Paris with her best friend Amanda ( Katie Cassidy ). He initially refuses, but eventually agrees after Lenore persuades him. At the airport, he learns the girls are actually planning to follow the band U2 during their European tour. Upon arriving at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Kim and Amanda meet Peter ( Nicolas Giraud ), a Parisian local whose taxi sharing habits act as a ruse to learn more about them. Kim and Amanda go to Amanda 's cousins ' apartment, only for Kim to find that the cousins are in Spain. While Kim makes a call to her father, she witnesses Amanda being abducted in the living room. Kim follows her father 's instructions to hide in a bedroom and listen closely. After she is dragged out from underneath the bed, Kim yells a description of her abductor. Bryan then hears a person breathing heavily, and suspects that one of the abductors has picked up the phone. Bryan then states that if they release his daughter, he will not go after the kidnappers, but warns them that failure will result in a hunt wherein death is an outcome. A man with an Albanian accent answers `` Good luck. '' Sam ( Leland Orser ), an old friend and former colleague of Bryan, deduces the kidnappers are part of an Albanian sex trafficking ring and identifies the man as Marko Hoxha. He reveals that, based on previous history, Kim will disappear for good if not found within 96 hours. Using Stuart 's private plane, Bryan flies to Paris, investigates the apartment, and finds Peter 's reflection in a picture on Kim 's phone. He finds Peter at the airport and tries to capture him. While fleeing, Peter is hit and killed by a truck. With his only lead dead, Bryan turns to an old contact, French former intelligence agent Jean - Claude Pitrel ( Olivier Rabourdin ), who now has a desk job at the same agency. Jean - Claude informs him of the local red - light district where the Albanian prostitution ring operates, but warns him not to get involved. However, with the aid of a translator, Bryan trails and infiltrates a makeshift brothel in a construction yard, where he finds a young woman wearing Kim 's denim jacket. After a firefight with the mobsters, he takes the woman to a hotel, where he clears the drugs from her system. The following morning, after Bryan returns from a heated conversation with Jean - Claude, the woman awakens and tells him of a safe house where the Albanians keep abductees. Posing as Pitrel, he enters the house, under the pretense of business renegotiation and police protection costs. Bryan identifies Marko as the man who spoke to him on the phone wherein a violent fight ensues, resulting in the deaths of all the other gangsters in the building minus Marko. A quick search reveals several heavily drugged girls, including a dead Amanda. Using a makeshift electric chair, Bryan interrogates Marko for information, torturing him with electric current when the latter refuses to answer. Marko reveals that Kim was sold quickly due to her virginity and that virgins are of high value on the black market. Once Marko gives the buyer as Patrice Saint - Clair ( Gérard Watkins ), Bryan leaves him to die in agony from continuous electrocution. Later that evening, Bryan visits the Pitrels for dinner and, after discovering Jean - Claude 's corruption, coerces him into providing Saint - Clair 's location by wounding his wife in the arm with a gunshot. Bryan infiltrates a secret sex slave auction beneath Saint - Clair 's manor. As soon as Kim comes up for sale, he forces Abil, an Arab bidder, to purchase her. While making his way out, he is knocked out and chained to a pipe, but he manages to escape and eliminate Saint - Clair 's henchmen. Bryan forces Saint - Clair to reveal Kim 's whereabouts. The Saint - Clair reveals that she is on a yacht owned by a sheikh named Raman, before Bryan shoots him dead. Bryan gives chase after Raman 's yacht, he then boards the yacht and dispatches his guards as well as Abil, who is revealed to be Raman 's head of security, who gives Bryan a difficult fight. He eventually kills Abil, then enters Raman 's suite, only to find Raman holding Kim at knife - point. Raman attempts to negotiate, but Bryan fatally shoots him in the head the moment he lowers his knife. Kim is reunited with her mother and stepfather. The film ends with Bryan and Kim visiting Sheerah. Cast Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills Maggie Grace as Kim Mills Famke Janssen as Lenore `` Lennie '' Mills - St John Leland Orser as Sam Gilroy Jon Gries as Mark Casey David Warshofsky as Bernie Harris Holly Valance as Sheerah Katie Cassidy as Amanda Xander Berkeley as Stuart St John Olivier Rabourdin as Jean - Claude Pitrel Gérard Watkins as Patrice Saint - Clair Arben Bajraktaraj as Marko Hoxha Camille Japy as Isabelle Nicolas Giraud as Peter Goran Kostić as Gregor Nabil Massad as Raman Production The film was produced by Luc Besson 's EuropaCorp. Pierre Morel had previously worked as a director of photography for Besson, and they had also collaborated on Morel 's directorial debut, District B13. Besson pitched the idea of Taken one night over dinner and Morel immediately became attached to the idea of a father fighting to protect his daughter. Jeff Bridges was first cast as Bryan Mills, but after he dropped out of the project, Liam Neeson accepted the part, desiring to play a more physically demanding role than he was used to. Neeson at first thought the film to be no more than a `` little side road '' for his career, expecting it to be released directly to video.

Critical response On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 58 %, based on 168 reviews, with an average rating of 5.8 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` Taken is undeniably fun with slick action, but is largely a brainless exercise. '' On Metacritic, the film has a score of 50 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Richard Corliss of Time said the film `` has nothing more on its mind than dozens of bad guys getting beat up and another one turned into instant roadkill. '' The Washington Post described the film as `` a satisfying little thriller as grimly professional as its efficient hero '' and likened the action to the Bourne film series. Derek Elley of Variety described the film as a `` kick ass, pedal - to - the - metal actioner (... ) that wisely does n't give the viewer any time to ponder the string of unlikely coincidences (... ) the film has the forward, devil - may - care momentum of a Bond film on steroids. '' Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times described the film 's premise as `` unintentionally silly at times (... ) Obviously, ' Taken ' is not the kind of action film to spend much time worrying about its pedestrian script or largely indifferent acting, so it 's fortunate to have Neeson in the starring role. '' Bryan Mills is characterized as `` relentless attack machine who is impervious to fists, bullets and fast - moving cars, he uses a variety of martial arts skills to knock out more opponents than Mike Tyson and casually kill those he does n't KO ''. CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend, cinema audiences gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale. Controversy In 2011, a self - proclaimed counter-terrorism expert was convicted of wire fraud after claiming the film was based on a real - life incident in which his daughter was killed. William G. Hillar, who pretended to be a retired Green Beret colonel, claimed to have spent more than 12 years lecturing US government agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation on security issues. However, records revealed he had actually been a radar operator in the Coast Guard Reserve between 1962 and 1970, and had never been in the US Army. Nevertheless, his website claimed Taken was based on events involving him and his family. Hillar, who admitted the charges, was sentenced to 500 hours of community service at Maryland State Veteran Cemetery. He also agreed to repay $171,000 in speaking fees that he had received from various organizations to which he had presented himself as an expert in terrorism and human trafficking.
