Taken Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
The movie was awesome and definitely a must see.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
It's fun for about 15 minutes seeing Neeson do James Bond as Daddy Dangerous. But the surprise wears off quickly.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Single-minded and suitably rough around the edges.
Observer
Rex Reed
Taken is the kind of exploitative junk everyone expects from no-talent French hack Luc Besson.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
[Neeson's] performance is the most perturbing thing in the film, even more so than its electrical-torture sequence or its revelations about sex-trafficking.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
It's the big, dolorous Neeson who makes the movie a keeper.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Don't be taken in by Taken.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie proves two things. (1) Liam Neeson can bring undeserved credibility to most roles just by playing them, and (2) Luc Besson, the co-writer, whose actioner-assembly line produced this film, turns out high-quality trash, and sometimes much better.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The whole movie becomes something of a Joseph Conrad-like descent into darkness, and the closer Bryan comes to the truth the seedier and more oft-putting the film itself becomes.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
With some suspension of disbelief and a strong stomach, it's possible to get taken in, or at least absorbed, by this adrenaline-pumping action thriller.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
If a movie's high points are a quick smack of carnage and a steely speech that everyone's already seen in the trailer, you know it must be January.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
I won't tell you Taken is great, but it's great fun.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
[Director] Morel keeps Taken moving swiftly. It's never dragged down by excess feelings; instead, it's powered by the potency of the right ones.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A fleet, no-nonsense rescue thriller from the crackerjack French director Pierre Morel, Taken is satisfying (1) for the Gaelic gravitas of its star, (2) its slam-bang chase scenes and bone-snapping martial arts, and (3) the scenic backdrops of Paris.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Next out of the January dreg-u-lator: A Liam Neeson thriller so lacking in ambition they should have called it Paycheck.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Taken starts in low gear and almost immediately stalls out.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Neeson's better than this.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Taken is not the kind of action film to spend much time worrying about its pedestrian script or largely indifferent acting, so it's fortunate to have Neeson in the starring role.
Christianity Today
Steven D. Greydanus
Although well-crafted but improbable action set pieces cast Neeson as an essentially indomitable force, the film's emotional force rests on the comparatively persuasive setup.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
If it's unrepentant violence you're after, you're better off renting [director] Morel's 2004 collaboration syndicate with Besson, District B13.
