Taken (2008) remains a gold standard for action cinema because it respects the audience's time. It clocks in at a lean 93 minutes, features incredible fight choreography based on the martial art of Nagasu Do, and delivers an intensely satisfying emotional payoff.
The movie is well-paced, with a engaging storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Liam Neeson's performance is particularly impressive, bringing depth and gravitas to the film. The supporting cast, including Famke Janssen and Kim Junsu, also deliver solid performances.
The "UPD" version often utilizes compression rather than the older x264.
