Watch Taken For Free

Too much of everything

Takes itself way too seriously

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Taken has been widely considered a great cinematic action film experience as it combines action and suspense and overall thrills from start to finish. Having seen the sequels before the original, one can agree that the original does live up to the hype and is massively more concise and arguably the best film of the franchise. Liam Neeson plays his role as one should and is convincing in the role, as well as the supporting cast of the daughter played by Maggie Grace and his ex-wife played by Famke Janssen. Another great thing about Taken is the length of the film, as we have seen many action films drag on with little subplots we do not care for, but with Taken the film isn't too long and every piece of screen time is vital. Overall, Taken delivers on what it should as an intense and thrilling action piece of art.

The dad knows how messed up it is overseas and couldn't've tried harder to explain that to his wife and daughter, who couldn't've acted like more of jerks about being mad at him for not letting her go. They act extremely naive and the wife, who's already divorced him, punches him below the belt, calling him "pathetic" before leaving him high and dry at the restaurant. When all's said and done, he doesn't react realistically coldly toward them like he should. He's way to soft. Why would the wife divorce him and get with some idiot instead who's as naive as she?

Taken (2008) is a pretty entertaining action film that features good acting all around. If I had to sum up the basis of this movie in one sentence, that would be it. It's not the best action film I've seen, it's just pretty good. The movie has been overrated, a 7.8 rating is just too high for this one. It's not worthy of a 7.8 IMDb rating. Yes, Liam Neeson is good in the starring role, even if some of his acting is a little cheesy at times. Maggie Grace is fine, I honestly wasn't impressed by her performance, but I didn't think she was bad. And the rest of the cast is fine too. The action is done very well if that's what you're looking for. The movie will keep your attention 80% of the time. I really don't know why the movie has been loved to the point it has been, I just see it as another pretty good action movie, to be honest it's not all that different from the other action movies that regularly come out. I do recommend the film if you like action, if you'd like something deeper than a regular action movie, then I would say maybe keep looking. I enjoyed it a fair amount, but I wouldn't be all too hyped to watch it again. 7/10.

I really liked this film because the film is about a father who loves his daughter and his wife even though they were separated. The father was determined to pick up her daughter who was kidnapped in French. Even this movie did not make us bored to watch it too many times because the film can make the audience carried away very full of action movie and love
