Critics Consensus: Taken is undeniably fun with slick action, but is largely a brainless exercise.

Reviews

Box Office Prophets

Sean Collier

He shows up, he punches, he succeeds, he goes home. It works.

When the protagonist can electro-shock torture a thug for information, and the audience can applaud him for it, it's evident that an intriguing character has been born.

Can we get lost in mindless action? Sure.

Herald Sun (Australia)

Leigh Paatsch

Often bone-crackingly, flesh-rippingly violent, but no amount of excess detracts from this junky thriller's jagged appeal.

Overall this is a good, not great, release of a film that has made itself an enormous amount of money and earned its place among our generation's other semi-superheroic thrillers.
