No one is safe from Liam Neeson!

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2019)

Taken is a movie that turned Liam Neeson's career around for the better and turned him into an awesome badass in almost every movie that came after.
Bryan Mills is such a wonderful character with so much grit, so much hurt and so much determination all because of his love for his teenage daughter who is as the title suggests, "taken" from him.
There is also that now legendary scene where he talks to the kidnapper on the phone which is even featured on the poster:
"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have, are a very particular set of skills. Skills I've acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you. I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... and I will kill you."
This film even though it's only 90 mins long, really punches along with one thing happening after another with Bryan brawling and shooting his way through the bad guys just to get his daughter back home.
A modern classic. And so it should be.
