Review Quotes
- "Bottom Line: Without a trace, without a brain."—NewsdayNewsday: Taken (January 30, 2009)
- "A satisfying thriller as grimly professional as its efficient hero, Taken pairs the ruthless hand-to-hand combat of the Bourne series with the potent child-in-peril plotline of a Lifetime original movie. The story of an ex-CIA spook (Liam Neeson) who trains his deadly skills on the Albanian slavers who have kidnapped his daughter, Taken delivers action, car chases, gunfights and just enough queasy exploitation to make you feel bad about yourself afterward."—Washington PostWashington Post: Neeson Is Reward Enough (January 30, 2009)
- "So many movies are well intended but poorly made that when something like Taken comes along, it's a relief, almost a joy. There's nothing lofty in the intentions of Taken. The aspiration here was to make a simple, straight-ahead action thriller. Period. I won't tell you Taken is great, but it's great fun."—San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle: Taken Keeps on Giving (January 30, 2009)
