Common Sense Media

Although there's little blood, the violence is relentless for the majority of the movie, and there's a high body count overall.

Roger Ebert

Liam Neeson brings the character a hard-edged, mercilessly focused anger, and director Pierre Morel hurtles through action sequences at a breathless velocity.

Eye for Film

Taken is exactly the picture you are expecting and there's not even a real villain to hate, just a bunch of forgettable, faceless eurothugs. Unforgiveable.

The Hollywood Reporter

EuropaCorp, Luc Besson’s production, distribution and sales group, has become a past master of this kind of filmmaking-by-the-numbers, and 'Taken,' Pierre Morel’s action thriller that Besson co-scripted, might do good business at home and abroad among audiences unconcerned with the finer points of characterization or psychological insight.

IMDb

Gone to see Liam Neeson, I've just seen a great movie. Much action, some American humour ... Liam Neeson at the top of his art.

The artwork and direction is nicely done, giving you the feeling of being the one attacking and the chair squirming feeling of being the poor gits who get annihilated in almost every way possible.

[Neeson's] presence deepens the role compared to your standard invincible action hero, delivering a character we want to see succeed.
