Kidnap MY daughter will you?!!!

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2020)

This was Liam Neeson's breakout role and it solidified him as a badass action star. It unfortunately also resulted in him being type-casted for the rest of his career, but honestly he plays the role of 'action hero' pretty well. He has made some pretty bad movies since then, but he's also made some good ones, so you can't really blame him for being a little overzealous with the roles that he's accepted since this hit-role he' had.
Anyway, the movie is very good... They kidnap his daughter and he goes on a rampage... It's a tried and tested trope and it's particularly well executed in this movie.
Making Taken 2 and 3 might have been overreaching a bit but you can't really expect them to be as good as this one is.
