Review of Taken (2004) by Zack L — 31 Aug 2015
Somewhere, deep beneath the metric shit-tonne of Hollywood cliches and mediocre writing, is a really solid and entertaining action film. While Neeson is undeniably a force to be reckoned with, each beat felt predictable to me, and the dialogue was really quite bland and stock.
There were moments, however, where I saw the shadow of the film Taken was trying to be; a film rivaling action thrillers of the past decade. For me, it just didn't quite get there.
