“I do not know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If that’s the ransom you’re hoping for, I’ll tell you right now that I don’t have any money, but what I do have are some special skills. I’ve acquired them over a long, very long career, and they make me a real nightmare for you. If you release my daughter now, I forget that this is the end of it. I will leave you alone. I’m not complaining. But if you keep it, I will seek you out, find you, and kill you.“
You know that iconic speech, and it doesn’t get any more iconic than the scene it’s taken from, which has become a true landmark in the action/thriller/detective genre.
It’s been 15 years since Brian Mills – the almighty Liam Neeson – spoke with confidence and determination and over the phone. At the other end of the line, her daughter’s kidnapper, a member of a powerful gang that specializes in trafficking women. Good news: Brian is a former CIA agent. The bad news: she’s in Los Angeles, and he’s just been kidnapped in Paris.
Written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen and directed by Pierre Morell, Taken, the first installment, grossed over $226 million on a $25 million budget. Community is on a date and will be offered two sequels: Taken 2 and Taken 3, released in 2012 and 2014 respectively.
