What can an agile but ordinary action movie gets a surprising emotional weight of the presence of Liam Neeson as the hero. Bryan Mills (Neeson) has his career as a spy for a relationship with his estranged teenage daughter - but then, on a trip to Paris, she is kidnapped by slavers, Mills used all his connections and skills to the city lights down and rescue her. As most of the films of writer / producer Luc Besson has a hand in (such as La Femme Nikita, The Transporter, Unleashed, and many other French action films), which drips with gruesome violence (a bit watered down to PG -- 13 rating, but there is still enough of), deranged sentimentality and stereotypes of all kinds. But this does not stop his films effective kick-runs, and taken, is no exception. Account pays just enough attention to the illusion of the procedure - which seems Mills knows the correct steps to trace his daughter - that movie gay seduces your suspension of disbelief, despite many plot holes and scenes in which Mills does not get scratched despite bullets fly in all directions or pretends to be, despite a French policeman not speak French or even adopting a French accent. What keeps it all together, Neeson and his gravitas and emotional availability of his character - the usual fantasy action impossible competence and righteous anger - some of the real and relatable.
