Taken is an action thriller movie that revolves around an ex-CIA agent who travels to Paris to rescue his daughter Kim who has been kidnapped by human traffickers. It shows the story of a father who will do anything to get his daughter back, even if that means taking on a massive criminal underworld on his own. The film is known for its thrilling action sequences and a fast-paced and action-packed storyline that keeps the audience engaged until the end. Furthermore, performances by the cast including Liam Neeson and Maggie Grace make it one of the best action thrillers in the 21st Century. Director Mel Gibson has managed to weave together superb action scenes that seem quite realistic and suspenseful at the same time. However, some may complain of a highly-graphic glorification of violence throughout. Overall, Taken is a must-watch movie for action-thriller fans. Because it will keep you on the edge of your seat, with a perfect balance of action, suspense, and emotional drama.

Liam Neeson expected the film to bomb, but he signed on in order spend four months in Paris and learn karate, while playing the kind of role he had rarely been offered in the past. Ironically, not only was the film a massive hit, but created a new on-screen image for Neeson as an action hero.
Jeff Bridges was first cast as Bryan Mills, but after he dropped out of the project Liam Neeson accepted the part, desiring to play a more physically demanding role than he was used to. Bridges eventually saw the film, and said Neeson was a much better choice for the role.
Former Special Air Service (SAS) soldier Mick Gould trained Liam Neeson in combatives and weapons handling skills to prepare him for the role.
Liam Neeson performs many of his own stunts.
Liam Neeson has stated in interviews that the biggest misunderstanding that people seem to take from the movie is that Europe (and France in particular) is a place where young people are at high risk of being abducted by human traffickers. He has said that several American parents thanked him after the movie for warning them of the dangers, saying they would no longer allow their children to go an a trip to France. Neeson always takes time to explain that the dangers were highly exaggerated for the film, and tells parents that they should encourage their children to get out of the USA more often.
"Bryan Mills: [talking to Marko on the phone] I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are 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 have 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. Marko: [after a long pause] Good luck. [hangs up his end of the phone]"
"Bryan: [Torturing Marko] I believe you. But that won't save you. [Turns the electricity back on and leaves]"
