ReviewsWashington Post - A satisfying thriller as grimly professional as its efficient hero., Austin Chronicle - Taken moves so fast and with such single-minded, vindictive energy, there's no time for moral ambivalence., Time - A mature, real man in an era of superhero fantasy, he radiates something rare in movie musclemen: a haunted gravity to match his outsize physique., Hollywood Reporter - Moviegoers who liked Taken and want more of the same will get precisely that.
