Du suspense qui se maintient tout au long du film avec la phrase que j'ai adoré (... I will find you and I will kill you... Good luck)

Non-stop action thriller. While you have to suspend disbelief frequently, you don't mind as the emotional impact of a father kicking serious butt in his desperate search for his daughter hits home. Definitely every father should sit down and watch this with his teenage daughter - especially since most don't have a fraction of the skills that Liam Neeson's character does.

Good action movie. But, couldn't they find a more beautiful daughter? She did not look 17.

A fairly taut, fairly gritty, fairly noir, familiar tale of a father who communicates better with actions than with words.

Great dialogue, great acting in most scenes, but seemed a little too easy to for Neeson to find his daughter. Still a good movie, well worth watching.

Very badd[...]. For a 61 year old man, Liam Neeson is very fit and the film is what a good action film needs to deliver. It's short and straight to the point and once again, badd[...].

This movie seemed to have a lot of hype. Perhaps thats why I wasn't that thrilled. Good... but not amazing. I did think Liam Neeson rocked but he always does :)

This film is a typical "rock em sock um" action movie with great action scenes and little plot depth or character development. Stereotypical heros and vilains battle it out in their white hats and black hats and with the bad guys spilling enough blood and guts to satisfy. I laughed out loud at some points (as did a few others) although I am certain this was not the reaction intended. None the less, I enjoyed it enough but I recomend waiting for the DVD.

This movie grabbed my attention immediately as it had the feeling right from the beginnning that something terrible was going to happen. Liam Neeson was flawlessly cast and filled the screen with testosterone, action and compassion. It was over the top but that's what the bad guys deserved. Paris scenery was pleasing but really could have been shot anywhere. If you're critical and want a nonfiction Jane Austin you won't like it. If you want entertainment and action this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. And yes, it was very hard to sympathize with the spoiled overindulged daughter and the manipulating devious exwife.

Best movie ever with an excellent message not only to teenagers but to everyone. In these times "TRUST NO-ONE"! Even knowing the outcome, I would watch this one again. MUST SEE.

Taken was amazing non stop action all the way through I love the story line. Its definitely a movie you want to see in the theatre because it wouldnt be as good on a smaller screen. The acting is good and it keeps you on the end of your seat. You know everything will make it in the end and things will work out but the movie makes you second guess yourself.

Pretty decent action movie. There's not much to the plot and it honestly doesn't really differ from a Steven Seagal revenge movie except for acting and production quality. Hard to feel sympathy for the spoiled daughter though.

Lives up to the great reviews given by others on here. Edge of your seat thriller, with a James Bond meets Jason Bourne feel. Really enjoyed the storyline as well as all the action.

Brutal in almost every respect. Writing is cliched. Plot is implausible and contrived on pretty nearly every level. And the acting is atrocious save and except Liam Neeson -- BUT he plays a middle-aged guy who makes Bruce Lee look like a wuss (i.e., gimme a break) Only two types of people should watch: those who like movies that are so bad, they can enjoy the groans. And those who want to see a little Paris scenery.

This movie is quite predictable. I didn't like the message of playing into the fear of parents letting their children grow up. I also am quite tired of American sterotypes of evil people (of course they are not American)

jackielarmour@ - age: 36-49
The root of the plot behind Taken was, to me, very disturbing but put it also put a more human face on a tragic and unnecessary evil that some if us, myself included, don't think about that often. The darkness of the theme aside, 'Taken' was great entertainment. The plot was a great pace and the characters, for the most part, were typical and believable. There was enough onscreen to keep you engaged. However, watching Maggie Grace act in the role of an "awkward teenager" was itself awkward, after seeing her in Lost on TV. Better than most movies in early 2009, and not too disappointing.

Liam does an American accent (o dear - the drone) James Bond without the gadgets. Good cinematography. I enjoyed the cold-bloodedness of it. All in all, it was lame and I was sorry I spent the money.

Enjoyed action adventure and would see it again. The story is simple and well told. The editting of the action sequences is excellent, creating a fast paced adrenalin pumping story. There are enough coincidences to make the plot development questionable, but this is easy to overlook with the pace of the film. Cinematography was average. Overall: good action adventure.

Excellent movie, good suspense-thriller. Liam is a great actor, although this does not really make you want to go to Paris...

I loved it... I know that moms usually tell you stuff like this can happen, but it never occurred to me just how easy and awful it could be. I thought that Liam was a little over the top, kind of unbelievable that he could kill all the bad guys and rescue the girl... but it's the movies right! If your daughter was taken this is what you would want to happen, it's what I would want to happen.

This was the best action movie I've seen in a long time. I liked the story very much. The character of the biological father was well played by Liam Neeson. I loved how he fought to get his daughter back when she was kidnapped. Other characters did not convince me at all their acting was too fake in my opinion. But it is an excellent movie I would recommend for parents, young adult and any adult to watch.

The story was really excellent. If is a very good action movie I liked the father. He was excellent because Liam Necson was a fantastic father I didn't like mother stepfather daughter or the ending.

It is a fun movie without a believable plot. The action hero is able to kill a few dozen bad guys all on his own. The bad guys are of course East Europeans with an oil sheik behind it all.

It's not quite a 9, but its certainly an 8. It has a good story and you will believe in the characters... and it helps that the action is good.
