Totally agree with Sniper with this one. Very, very good film - no aspirations to do anything but entertain, and it achieves this stylishly.

Liam Neeson was absolutely perfect for the role, and he gave a level of depth that seemed non-existent in the script.

Good entertainment.

I thought Taken was a good entertaining film.  A different take on the spy genre.

I'd recommend this film.

Luc Besson knows how to make this kind of thing in his sleep!

It's weakest link for me was the casting of Neeson. I just could not see him in the role. Having said that, it was entertaining and I'd rather watch this than a lot of actual Hollywood action films.

Besson for the next James Bond movie, I say!

Saw this a number of months ago in its theatrical run.

I was not impressed at all, and was shocked at how well it did and how long it ran.  Nothing at all stood out here except how absurd most of the scenes were.

I did not hate it either, but like Dressel said earlier, the first 20 minutes or so were just awful, slow, and so unbeleivable.  Things got better, but everything was just so easy for Old Liam, and the finale didn't offer much either.

So so flick that way out performed expectations.

this film was nothing more than 90 minutes of liam kicking ass. is that a bad thing? this film proves that its not

plus as others had mentioned, it has a nice style to it.

i really enjoyed it but knew going into it that it wouldnt be very deep. i encourage others to go in thinking the same thing (or else you might be disappointed)
