"Within the parameters of action thrillers, 'Taken' is as conventional as it is well-executed, whose flashes of originality reside in its premise: putting a veteran actor in a brutal impossible mission, two years before Sylvester Stallone and company did the same in 'Les Misérables'. Liam Neeson was familiar with this type of movie (he had previously starred in 'Batman Begins' and 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace'), but 'Taken' was a turning point in his career for such films, establishing himself as a convincing action star who is also responsible for one of the most iconic and intense monologues in the genre's history."
