Critics consensus

“Taken is undeniably fun with slick action, but is largely a brainless exercise.”

Doting dads are doting dads, I guess, and there is just no stopping him, which is a shame, as what follows is a big sorry mess of the most clichéed, improbable and xenophobic kind.

The movie was awesome and definitely a must see.

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

This isn’t Superman righting the wrongs of the world, it’s Alpha Dad using all the tools of spycraft and a lifetime of expertise on the front lines of international hot spots to take out every obstacle on his mission find his daughter.
