"17.7. Netflix Uusintakatselu. Olen ilmeisesti jokusen onnistuneen toimintaelokuvan katsonut ekan katselun jälkeen, kun enää vähän vaikea nähdä, mitä niin ihmeellistä tässä olisi. Suoraviivainen ja sopivan mittainen kyllä. Tarpeettoman nopeat leikkaukset eivät herätä uskoa näyttelijöiden oikeista tappelutaidoista, vaikka sinänsä kova meno olisikin. Keskittyy oleellisuuksiin, mitä nyt turhaan tarviikin välillä korostaa tilanteen dramaattisuutta."

" 2008 was the year that the first Taken movie was released in February, a month that has a reputation for being the time period when film producers unload their worst productions, or the ones that they have no faith in becoming a success, critically or financially. However, this fatherly action thriller ended up becoming a surprise hit and even more surprising, set the aging Liam Neeson up as a bonafide action star. And since Hollywood loves formulas, it has become "traditional" for a Neeson a"

""If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."PhotofestTrue to his word, Liam Neeson kills 35 men in 93 minutes in the first film, scores more in the second and third, and who knows how many in the planned TV prequel."
