Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's the big, dolorous Neeson who makes the movie a keeper.

rotten:
[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.

Taken is the kind of exploitative junk everyone expects from no-talent French hack Luc Besson.

You've just kidnapped the wrong teenager, Mister Foreign Slave Trader Man.

It's fun for about 15 minutes seeing Neeson do James Bond as Daddy Dangerous. But the surprise wears off quickly.
