A thrill ride 8 years on.


The first 20 minuets are slow,
but after that it's a non stop kickass movie.
Another Liam Neeson film I love is The Grey.

Taken is still one of my favorite action movies ever! Too bad the sequels severely paled in comparison. Haven't seen The Grey, but I'll check it out sometime. I've heard good things about it.

Yes! Shame about the sequels, ever diminishing returns.
Five Minutes Of Heaven (2009) is a powerful drama.
Though'I don't think he's done anything since to surpass 'Taken.
Apart from The Grey and FMOH.

@Z-Dizzle I don't know why two posters on this thread are recommending The Grey on a Taken board. They're nothing alike.

The Grey is more of a philosophical movie - with wolves. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's completely different from Taken. They may as well have recommended Rob Roy.

You'd be better off watching Non-Stop instead, which is similar to Taken:

In tone and setting, Unknown,A Walk Among the Tombstones and Non-Stop are more like the Taken movies than The Grey. Regardless, I like em all!

OP -

Agreed - it's great fun.

I want to kick myself for watching it, but I still watch it (fourth viewing and counting)😳.
