Taken is one of those awesome and badass Action/Thriller movies that comes along about every ten years or so and becomes so popular and memorable it spawns multiple sequels and makes an actor a household name and who's character is on a list of badass action movie characters much like the Die Hard franchise with Bruce Willis or the John Wick franchise with Keanu Reeves.
Taken stars (Liam Neeson) who plays ex government agent Bryan Mills who after a long career of serving his country retires in order to make up for lost time with his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) who is now seventeen and lives with her mother and step father. Kim gets invited by her friend Amanda to spend the summer in Paris but Bryan doesn't want her to go as he thinks it's to dangerous and she is too young to travel alone but after being guilt tripped into allowing her to go his worse nightmare comes true when Kim and Amanda are abducted upon arrival in Paris but Bryan vows to find his daughter and her kidnappers by any means necessary which leads to him travelling to Paris and becoming a one man army against a gang of human traffickers.
Liam Neeson is amazing in this movie and really shows off his range as an actor his character is a smart, professional and well trained government agent Neeson plays this role perfectly with a unique calm and collected performance that made is character so iconic and badass.
I highly recommend watching this movie if by some miracle you haven't already seen it then do yourself a favour and give it a watch it's not just an awesome action movie it's also a crime thriller with a great story to it that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
