2. Taken
Remember when we talked about Liam Neeson being most loved for his action roles? The movie that started this obsession was 2008’s Taken, which led to two sequels and a television show in the works as we speak. The film follows a retired CIA agent who is forced to resort to his old ways when his daughter is kidnapped while on a trip in Europe with her friend. Not only was this a phenomenal action movie, it was also a touching story about how far a father is willing to go to protect their child. The film can be summed up in its most haunting line: “I will find you, and I will kill you.” Although the two sequels that followed this film were not as strong story-wise, they still carry the same pulse-pounding action and fun that Neeson brings to every action movie.
