Our take
Few could have predicted Liam Neeson’s late-career turn towards high-octane action, kick-started at 56 years old with this propulsive Euro-thriller. A dynamic chase flick that spawned countless knock-offs, Taken is the Rosetta Stone of CIA-dads-coming-out-of-retirement-to-exact-revenge cinema!
