"They're going to take you" - I think that line really sold Brian's character. He didn't bullshit his daughter, he didn't lie to her to calm her down. He just straight up told her to focus her on what she needed to do.
@1:02:45 -- liam shot the wife not only for information. his former friend had just told him he didn't care who got hurt as long as his family was taken care of. liam was showing him what it felt like to be a victim of someone willing to hurt anyone for his family.
Liam was a dramatic actor or his entire career, stage and screen. then his wife Natasha Henstridge died of a head injury after a skiing accident. he took a few years off to grieve and settle and then he came back to us with this masterpiece franchise. he did 3 of them.
Natasha Richardson. Natasha Henstridge is the actress from Species. His wife was in the original Handmaid's Tale and The Parent Trap remake. Believe me, I'm not getting a sense of pride or anything by correcting you. I do the same thing occasionally and say the wrong name even if I know the correct name. Sometimes the wrong name just gets stuck in your head.
My parents watched this with me when I was a teenager. (I was 17 or 18 when this movie came out). It really came in handy when I went to Japan and had been stalked. So yeah guys, definitely watch this when your daughters are older it definitely helps. ❤❤❤❤
@@SeeJaneGoTV yeah it definitely helped me to be more mindful of my surroundings and opened up conversations with my parents about how to be street smart.
The one thing I found pretty unrealistic is Kim going back to being the goofy little kid she was before this experience. I would expect her to have major PTSD and to grieve her dead friend, instead of going for singing auditions as if nothing had happened.
@@Jordan-fw1gfwell it really depends from person to person. Some people get back to their natural self after a few days of therapy and some take months or even years
This movie took Hollywood by storm when it first came out. It was only supposed to be a small no nothing movie but it exploded and became such a big hit and fan favorite that it spawned 2 sequels.
This movie came out right before I spent a month in Hong Kong as an English teacher at a summer camp. I’m the only child and daughter in my family, and I was about 26 at the time. After we saw that movie, my dad (who already wasn’t thrilled about my upcoming trip to China) really didn’t want me going off on my own. I made sure to stay with others at all times, but it’s true you just never know what people are capable of doing to another human.
The casting director originally did not want Liam Neeson for this film. He felt he was too old. Thankfully he changed his mind once he saw his martial arts skills. I can't imagine anyone else in this role.
Papa wolves have seen a great many things in their lives. He's the perfect age. It's also great because it's coming from someone you wouldn't expect to still have a bit of spunk in them...
And to think, everything that transpired in this film could have been avoided if a daughter had listened to her father's sage wisdom and if an ex-wife had heeded her ex-husband's warnings as opposed to doing as they wished and ignoring Bryan's words all together. It was nothing short of a miracle that Bryan Mills was able to rescue his daughter because Kim's future could have easily been the same as Amanda's.
I hear you but check it out though. Out of the 3. Him, mom, and daughter. He's the only one that actually knows how dangerous it is. They haven't seen anything like he seen. There not just straight up thinkin she's gonna go on a trip and oh maybe she might get kidnapped and sold and shit yk? Yes there are dangers in the world but for all they know dad could just be being over protective or to paranoid of his daughter going on that trip. It also doesn't help he didn't say or tell them that type of stuff happens around those parts and he knew it did 😂😂😂. I'm js it ain't that black and white. The mom just being a mom wantin her daughter to be happy and maybe explore the world.
@@cjjackson2423 I'm fully agree that the daughter was clueless about what her father's profession was but if she had valued and respected his insights as her FATHER she would have been honest with him instead of trying to be deceptive about her true intentions which means ultimately he would have told her NO to her request or he would have insisted that he accompany her on the trip without debate. And as for the mother, she was by no means clueless about the nature of Bryan's work or how dangerous it was because she even admitted she had fears that her husband might not return home someday "expecting a phone call that he would never return" and those are her own words.
@@islajadepierre9060 Well I would say just the beginning she was but after kimmy got taken she was pretty alright. At the same time they don't know where he's coming from at all, it make sense she would act like that. Not even adding she already kinda doesn't like like him or respect him or whatever for choosing work over them.
Never travel alone, always have an escape plan, south america has the highest incidence of missing travelers. skip war torn countries, always be wary of strangers, carry your groceries with your non dominant hand so your strong hand is ready for defence, keys are good self defense carry, i have other tips but it may be illegal lol!
When I was Navy Special Warfare we occasionally worked with the anti trafficking division of Interpol. It is estimated that over 2 MILLION young women, mostly teenagers tragically, are kidnapped and trafficked worldwide
Im not a mom but the idea of knowing my daughter was taken away from me and I could hear her screams on my phone i think it would put anyone in state of desperation!
It is more that your morality is *present* not gone. Gratuitous violence is an evil but, as with many things, the application of force is a tool that is not evil in and of itself. 98% of us do not have it in is to use lethal force, even when it is called for. 1% are psychopaths who enjoy using it and, luckily for the rest of us, there is another 1% who are nicknamed Sheep Dogs because they will use it to defend someone else.
The fact you are parents of two daughters and therefore particularly emotional reaction has made the reaction even more interesting than usual, also enjoyed it very much. On this parent-child theme, I recommend the film "Law Abiding Citizen" (2009), to which I would also be very interested in a reaction from you.
Too bad Law Abiding Citizen was mellowed down due to Jamie Fox being a primadona. It is still a great movie but could have much greater impact if originally intended ending was filmed.
I was in possession of this movie some years ago. And I crid LIKE A BABY when his daughter was taken. But I gotta tell y'all, seeing Jane's emotional response here made me cry even more than I had then. The trilogy is amazing. You won't regret watching any of them.
Inside 96 hours, Bryan made up for the years he missed with his daughter and his ex now understand. No amount of money would suffice if anything happened to their daughter.
This movie is one of my favorites. The lack of awareness from Kim and Amanda paired with the reality of being targeted in a foreign country. Oftentimes, you hear about how easily you can be targeted, kidnapped, and/or scammed in a foreign country and never truly comprehend it. If you travel a lot, you tend to pick up certain habits, but many first time travelers, especially young ones, don't consciously remember those dangers and let small details about their lives slip making them easy targets. The movie, although a good ending for Kim, makes a point to show what happened to Amanda. Which is what happens to most girls who get kidnapped and trafficked.
I remember reading that Liam Neeson felt bad about how this movie made a lot of people afraid to visit Europe themselves or let their kids go on school trips. It similar to how JAWS made people afraid to go to the Beach.
Excellent reaction I love both of your reactions to movies especially when it’s emotional as it shows how genuine it is to you. Definitely watch the next 2 movies they’re well worth it & it continues/links to this one….
You guys mentioned maybe reacting to "The Equalizer". I have to say I think it is one of Denzel Washington's BEST performances! I watched the original TV series growing up during the 80's on which the movie character is based on. I think his portrayal as the main character was fantastic! Loved that film!
Funny story, I’m a 57 year old US Army Cold War Veteran, when my daughter was a teenager she used to tell boys pretty much the same thing about me, “my Dad has a special set of skills, you hurt me he WILL find you and he’ll show you a level of crazy that will make your worst nightmares seem like a happy place” 🤣
grew up watching this movie and me and my dad both loved it and we watched them all also every father should be like this cause i would go any length to save any of my family members or friends to protect them
The woman playing the singer is Holly Vallance, Australian actor/singer who made it big in Australian soap Neighbours & had a big hit in UK with "Kiss Kiss"
I've watched you guys for a couple of years now, and I have never heard you swear this much. This is the first time I've ever heard Jane swear. I absolutely get it, too. Honestly, it made the reaction so much better. This movie is so intense! As a father of teenagers, the stress is real. Right now, my kids are spending part of the summer in Denmark with their mom and her boyfriend, who is Danish. With everything that's going on over there now, it's even scarier than when this movie was made. I'm counting down the days until they return after this month. I love your channel, guys. Your reactions are always so authentic! Keep up the great work!
Yes that actress is Katie Cassidy from Arrow who played The Canary and the other actress the daughter is Maggie Grace, if you watch Fear the Walking Dead TV series she plays AL or Althea the one who was videotaping everything. Also HI from Nova Scotia Canada, hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year! Cheers! 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳
from a movie watching aspect, i really like how well the director knows how to let a scene breathe. Like its very common for in action movies nowadays that its just action scene to action scene with only a little bit of story linking between them. In this movie, you get the action, then you see Brian actually decompress when its appropriate. It does a great job of humanizing Brian even more as he isnt just some terminator on a rampage but a man just doing his best in the situation.
Only critique I have is the "best friend" just got glossed over with no resolution,no mourning by her, nothing just ok I'm home smile smile all good now let's go sing..
Same, i always thought it was very cold how they left her body at the albanians complex, like, i know she's dead but atleast bring her to her family and talk about her. She was practically forgotten like trash.
After watching this movie i decided to do a project for school on human trafficking and its disgusting and heart breaking how many people are trafficked worldwide. Only a few escape and they're the ones who are so outspoken. Governments would rather ignore the issue because they dont want to acknowledge that its happening. My heart breaks for every missing person that no one is looking for. Also most people are trafficked by people they know, boyfriends family etc. its rarely a stranger abduction although they do happen. Traffickers dont like tattoos because theyre identifiable so if youre scared maybe get a little something. There are hotlines and people who will help you, if you believe you are being trafficked please reach out. You are not alone ❤
As sad and traumatic as I'm sure this move is it was funny to see Jane rooting for violence. JV is mf'ng it was a great reaction and I cant wait to join and see Patreon.
Hey guys, as one of your loyal subscribers, I just have to say that this was by far the best video I have experienced with you guys. I'm just like you, I have 2 daughters and movies like this just pull at my heartstrings. I have seen these movies multiple times but I always cry when his daughter is taken and when he saves her. If I can request a movie to watch on this channel, especially being parents, watch Prisoners with Hugh Jackman & Jake Gyllenhaal. That movie pulls on the heartstrings more than this film. Great job guys. You rock!!!
The woman he was protecting at the start is an Australian actress and singer . And liam was a boxer when he was younger so his good with his hands . Not sure if his still boxing .
I don't know how they do it in Canada but here in a good old USA. When you get a divorce the women get the house. The car, the kids half of your paycheck and all of your bank account . It's a wonderful situation to be in
As others have said, it hits home even harder when your own life experiences help you to empathise even deeper with what is going on in this movie. I don't have daughters but I do have sisters and the thought of something like this happening to one of them ... ... ... And that fact that you brought up about folk being willing to let someone else die so they could have a bit of cash - what the hell has happened to the morality of the world whilst I was distracted organising my finances for retirement?
This movie really hits us parents hard! I have some other recommendations if you ever want to watch as parents react: Breakthrough (true story!) wonder, Natalee Holloway (lifetime movie) The lovely Bones, Lorenzo’s Oil, Kidnap, The call (both Halle berry movies) the pursuit of happiness, Cinderella Man And The fourth call is good too!- those are all really good movies for parents, and families and I really thought you guys might enjoy them. You may of seen some already. But I figured wouldn’t hurt to recommend them to you guys! Hope you and you’re girls have a wonderful merry Christmas
"Man on Fire" is also a movie worth mentioning on this list. Depends on the individual taste though whether to watch the original 90s movie with Scott Glenn or the remake with Denzel Washington.
I consider my ex wife and her husband family. We are spending Christmas together. We go golfing and camping together. Our marriage didn't work but now that we're not together we can be friends. Put the past behind you. Because of pur relationship our kids grew up not having to worry about us fighting
SMG = Sub Machine Gun RPG (what you were thinking) - Rocket Propelled Grenade Bazooka - (AT4 is often mistaken for this) similar to rpg AT4 - since I brought it up, is a shoulder held Anti Tank rocket.
What blows me away is this movie is 15 years old. 👀😬 Where did the time go! And a movie with Robert McCall (Denzel), Bryan Mills (Liam) and John Wick (Keanu) would be....INSANE.
wow, I was just thinking the same thing. We went on vacation with some friends right after this came out on dvd, and my friend brought this movie and along and we watched the unrated version in our cabin. We were all blown away. Can’t believe its that long ago already.
Funniest thing about this reaction is Jane sitting in "Paris France" shirt xD. Don't tell me, you put in this by accident. You had to be wearing this on purpose.
I actually just got done watching a documentary on human trafficking and thought of this movie and found you guys. The documentary had a husband from Ukraine traveling to Turkey to find his wife. One of their friends actually sold her. He found her though which is amazing. I'm new to the channel and will be binging your videos lol.
Great movie. Other great movies like that are Equalizer with Denzel Washington and the first Bourne Identity movie. Other great Liam Nisson movies are Rob Roy 1995 and Darkman 1990 which is an original superhero movie Sam Ramie made before he got the rights to do the Spiderman movies. Another great movie like this is the first Jack Reacher (Which has a great Amazon series named Reacher)
I watch a lot of Reaction Videos and this was one of the BEST I've seen! I Love the "Taken" franchise anyway, but to see itg through the eyes of 2 Emotional Parents was incredible! I am now a Subscriber! I'm looking forward to You watching the other 2 Movies! Keep up the good work!
There’s a solution for these kind of situations these days if you can’t do it yourself. There are companies like global rescue that you can pay as your travel insurance plus. They have plans that include kidnap & hostage rescue, intelligence, medical evacuation, security evacuation, etc. they employ vets from prestigious units like the seals, rangers, etc.
I’m glad of course she had such a wonderful father, but also a wealthy stepfather that could arrange a private plane to Paris instantly. They were a good team for her benefit.
Well, if they are Americans and divorced , she asked for alimony and child support, considering the fact that he was getting paid very well, a lot of his money going towards his daughter and his ex-wife. Therefore, he had to keep going even harder to make more money for himself. Hence, the time away from his daughter.
I cry in taken every time. I seen it when i was a teenager and it came out and cried then too. Lol. Now still get teary eyes. Everyone is always like what the heck its an action movie. I felt seen watching yall cry. Its so horrible.
Have you seen the other Taken? There is a mini series called “Taken” & it is the longest movie to date about u.f.o.’s, alien abduction & super powers! It’s also made by Director Steven Spielberg. It’s got a great cast & cool special effects. It’s worth a look if you have never seen this Taken.
Most analyst do this from training received, but gifted individuals can do this in the field. Those who are this talented and experienced are like this character in the movie, 3 to 5 moves ahead of their prey. Make no mistake those who are followed by these unique individuals feel like a mouse hunted by a hungry tiger.
TH-camr was Christina Grimmie, she had performed at the plaza in Orlando and she was doing a meet and greet after. She was sitting beside her brother at the table and a guy walked up and shot her.
final shot, he had to wait until the bad guys started talking. otherwise the reflex would have caused him to cut his daughter. when they talk, their reflex action is relaxed.
If you guys haven't seen/reacted to Man On Fire with Denzel Washington, I highly recommend it. As well as Dragonfly with Kevin Costner. And Whale Rider. Also I don't know if you have seen/reacted to Last Of The Mohicans, or Dances With Wolves. But those are excellent too. Every film I just mentioned is wonderful & epic, & beautiful. Man On Fire is brutal but beautiful. Dragonfly is a BEAUTIFUL supernatural mystery. Whale Rider is an emotional drama, but has a beautiful ending. And Last Of The Mohicans are Early American Frontier & American Indian stories of fiction, but based loosely on real history. Great depictions, great story telling. 👍 Also - The Call & Kidnap, both with Halle Barry, are great movies, & I think both are loosely based on a real events. I can't speak for Canada - But HT goes on within the US as well. You don't have to travel abroad to be at great possible risk. There are videos on TH-cam that have survivor testimonies, & shine a light on this subject. I'm sure it happens in every country. And corrupt police & government officials working with organized crime syndicates actually enable or facilitate it. Just pray for your kids, & be cautious & aware of your surroundings at all times. Teach them to be alert & aware. And teach them as they grow older to be prepared for anything. Have or carry whatever weapons of self defense that are feasible & legal in your country. Maybe enroll them in basic self defense classes. Also Jane - I want to point out that when you were a teen/young adult, the risks were there for sure, but there was less risk. Just like back in the 50's people used to leave their doors unlocked, & kids stayed out unsupervised until dark. The more time that goes by, the less repressed a nation becomes, the more technology, & corruption, the greater the risk. So that said - sadly, it was somewhat safer for you in your generation, than it will be for your kids. But just as technology can be used to the advantage of the corrupt, it can be used to help keep us safe as well. We now have GPS tracking devices for pets, cars, & children for example. Get your kids fingerprints for safekeeping. Teach them if they are ever in a situation God forbid to put their fingerprints all over the place. They can carry around a small pocket knife or box knife or something to cut any bonds that might be placed on them. And a Bobby pin or something for picking locks. Teach them to think on their toes. Just be as proactive as possible. And teach them to be as well. Look at their cars for markers from these kinds of people. Teach them to give their vehicles a daily once over. And not to fall for any of the common tactics that are used. Sorry not trying to lecture you. I'm sure you're very good parents. I'm trying to encourage you.

"Taken 2" is awful

Now that wasn't a perspective I had realized, but you make sense. Thanks for sharing!
Plus, the fact that Liam’s opinion of wives wasn’t that high at that point in time, in my opinion.
Right, not only that. It certainly shows his seriousness as he doesn't have much time to mess around with him. It's a brutal but quick way to success.
I swear I want a father like that!! HE WAS NOT PLAYING ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER!!
39:49 , when Liam Neeson says , "I told u I would find u" has to be the most satisfying feeling u can get watching a movie.

Perhaps they just wanted to show her happy destiny compared to the fate it could have been.

His face as it was happening was so good.
"The eyes. The groin of the face." Did i hear that right, because that made my day.
It's one of those movies that brings out my dark side. Once I see the trafficking, my morality is just GONE for everyone involved in the endeavor.

This movie is so intense! As a father of teenagers, the stress is real. Right now, my kids are spending part of the summer in Denmark with their mom and her boyfriend, who is Danish. With everything that's going on over there now, it's even scarier than when this movie was made. I'm counting down the days until they return after this month.
I love your channel, guys. Your reactions are always so authentic!
Keep up the great work!
Yes that actress is Katie Cassidy from Arrow who played The Canary and the other actress the daughter is Maggie Grace, if you watch Fear the Walking Dead TV series she plays AL or Althea the one who was videotaping everything. Also HI from Nova Scotia Canada, hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year! Cheers! 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳
from a movie watching aspect, i really like how well the director knows how to let a scene breathe. Like its very common for in action movies nowadays that its just action scene to action scene with only a little bit of story linking between them. In this movie, you get the action, then you see Brian actually decompress when its appropriate. It does a great job of humanizing Brian even more as he isnt just some terminator on a rampage but a man just doing his best in the situation.
Only critique I have is the "best friend" just got glossed over with no resolution,no mourning by her, nothing just ok I'm home smile smile all good now let's go sing..
Same, i always thought it was very cold how they left her body at the albanians complex, like, i know she's dead but atleast bring her to her family and talk about her. She was practically forgotten like trash.
@@yubyub335everything was kinda her fault
So her character should be punished like that because she was naive? Seems very cruel to me @@madafaka216
After watching this movie i decided to do a project for school on human trafficking and its disgusting and heart breaking how many people are trafficked worldwide. Only a few escape and they're the ones who are so outspoken. Governments would rather ignore the issue because they dont want to acknowledge that its happening. My heart breaks for every missing person that no one is looking for. Also most people are trafficked by people they know, boyfriends family etc. its rarely a stranger abduction although they do happen. Traffickers dont like tattoos because theyre identifiable so if youre scared maybe get a little something. There are hotlines and people who will help you, if you believe you are being trafficked please reach out. You are not alone ❤
As sad and traumatic as I'm sure this move is it was funny to see Jane rooting for violence. JV is mf'ng it was a great reaction and I cant wait to join and see Patreon.
Hey guys, as one of your loyal subscribers, I just have to say that this was by far the best video I have experienced with you guys. I'm just like you, I have 2 daughters and movies like this just pull at my heartstrings. I have seen these movies multiple times but I always cry when his daughter is taken and when he saves her.
If I can request a movie to watch on this channel, especially being parents, watch Prisoners with Hugh Jackman & Jake Gyllenhaal. That movie pulls on the heartstrings more than this film. Great job guys. You rock!!!
Oh heck yes!! 🫵 I 2nd this request!! “PRISONERS” (2013) 💯💪
Taken 1, 2 and 3 are worth it. It's a decent trilogy. Btw, dope reaction.
The woman he was protecting at the start is an Australian actress and singer . And liam was a boxer when he was younger so his good with his hands . Not sure if his still boxing .
I don't know how they do it in Canada but here in a good old USA. When you get a divorce the women get the house. The car, the kids half of your paycheck and all of your bank account . It's a wonderful situation to be in
unrelated and perhaps shallow but i love janes hair in this, the color is so pretty on her!!
Thank you!!!
Yes it does really happend around the world, thats why there is highly trained persons like me who can be deployed to get em back.
When Justin said come on Liam use the force... Had me dead 💀💀
As others have said, it hits home even harder when your own life experiences help you to empathise even deeper with what is going on in this movie. I don't have daughters but I do have sisters and the thought of something like this happening to one of them ... ... ...
And that fact that you brought up about folk being willing to let someone else die so they could have a bit of cash - what the hell has happened to the morality of the world whilst I was distracted organising my finances for retirement?
That advertisement was really good and funny 🤣.I love you guyzz
This movie really hits us parents hard! I have some other recommendations if you ever want to watch as parents react: Breakthrough (true story!) wonder, Natalee Holloway (lifetime movie) The lovely Bones, Lorenzo’s Oil, Kidnap, The call (both Halle berry movies) the pursuit of happiness, Cinderella Man And The fourth call is good too!- those are all really good movies for parents, and families and I really thought you guys might enjoy them. You may of seen some already. But I figured wouldn’t hurt to recommend them to you guys! Hope you and you’re girls have a wonderful merry Christmas
Nooooo not lovely bones 😭 also I have that movie the call I love it 😅
Lorenzo's Oil is awesome! Sad, tragic, but awesome! 👍
"Man on Fire" is also a movie worth mentioning on this list. Depends on the individual taste though whether to watch the original 90s movie with Scott Glenn or the remake with Denzel Washington.
Telling them he had no money is a Big mistake.
It tells them straight away he has no influence, which they fear the most.
I consider my ex wife and her husband family. We are spending Christmas together. We go golfing and camping together. Our marriage didn't work but now that we're not together we can be friends. Put the past behind you. Because of pur relationship our kids grew up not having to worry about us fighting
SMG = Sub Machine Gun
RPG (what you were thinking) - Rocket Propelled Grenade
Bazooka - (AT4 is often mistaken for this) similar to rpg
AT4 - since I brought it up, is a shoulder held Anti Tank rocket.
Taking a nap in a park in Russia, sounds like you were blending in with the people perfectly.
It was on a giant bean bag. They were all over the place. The weather was perfect. I learned so much there.
What blows me away is this movie is 15 years old. 👀😬 Where did the time go!
And a movie with Robert McCall (Denzel), Bryan Mills (Liam) and John Wick (Keanu) would be....INSANE.
Possibly for expendables 5😂😂😂
Hell yea!! Totally would be down for that!!
wow, I was just thinking the same thing. We went on vacation with some friends right after this came out on dvd, and my friend brought this movie and along and we watched the unrated version in our cabin. We were all blown away. Can’t believe its that long ago already.
Funniest thing about this reaction is Jane sitting in "Paris France" shirt xD. Don't tell me, you put in this by accident. You had to be wearing this on purpose.
Wore it for the sparkle. Bought it in Paris. Good catch! That's wild
Imagine there are 3 Taken and in each one his daughter is kidnapped. I would slowly start to doubt my parental qualities.
I actually just got done watching a documentary on human trafficking and thought of this movie and found you guys. The documentary had a husband from Ukraine traveling to Turkey to find his wife. One of their friends actually sold her. He found her though which is amazing. I'm new to the channel and will be binging your videos lol.
Great movie. Other great movies like that are Equalizer with Denzel Washington and the first Bourne Identity movie. Other great Liam Nisson movies are Rob Roy 1995 and Darkman 1990 which is an original superhero movie Sam Ramie made before he got the rights to do the Spiderman movies. Another great movie like this is the first Jack Reacher (Which has a great Amazon series named Reacher)
I watch a lot of Reaction Videos and this was one of the BEST I've seen! I Love the "Taken" franchise anyway, but to see itg through the eyes of 2 Emotional Parents was incredible! I am now a Subscriber! I'm looking forward to You watching the other 2 Movies! Keep up the good work!
"The eyes are the groin of the face"... 🤣 🤣 🤣 Merry Christmas you guys. ❤️🍺🍻
The mom throwing his military career in his face, when she knew what he did.
17:15 your identical reactions matched mine too😂
Tmi, Amanda! 😢
This is out appartment. The whole 5th floor is ours. Absolutely so adult supervision.
Good job amanda!
There’s a solution for these kind of situations these days if you can’t do it yourself. There are companies like global rescue that you can pay as your travel insurance plus. They have plans that include kidnap & hostage rescue, intelligence, medical evacuation, security evacuation, etc. they employ vets from prestigious units like the seals, rangers, etc.
This one is a modern classic.
That TH-cam girl was Christina Grimmie. She was on the Voice and should've won. She was an amazing singer and did not deserve to be shot and killed.
"You came for me...?" that line always gets me.
I’m glad of course she had such a wonderful father, but also a wealthy stepfather that could arrange a private plane to Paris instantly. They were a good team for her benefit.
This guy, The Equalizer, John WIck and... The Mechanic? I think this line up could take town the entire world if they wanted to.
This looks like it should be a stand alone movie, but the sequels are actually just as good. You should go ahead with the series.
LOL 26:27 jane forgets this is a fathers vengeance movie. Of course JV wants this dudes blood lmao
Man, I can't WAIT for the DC Universe to be re-re-re-re-rebooted again in 10 years!
44:30 - The look on both of your faces at the exact same time is priceless 😂...
Well, if they are Americans and divorced , she asked for alimony and child support, considering the fact that he was getting paid very well, a lot of his money going towards his daughter and his ex-wife. Therefore, he had to keep going even harder to make more money for himself. Hence, the time away from his daughter.
"Without direction and guidance from a man, women self-destruct."
This movie is a good example of that age old saying.
The unrated versions have better pacing in the fights because they don't cut away to keep it pg13
50:45 "They always have to be hurt toward the end of the movie, that's one rule", LOL but SO TRUE!
In an interview with Liam Neeson he said he was obsessed with the Equalizer movies with Denzel Washington. You should check them out.
Her name is Katie Cassidy, and she's from Arrow, and she was the Black Canary.
I cry in taken every time. I seen it when i was a teenager and it came out and cried then too. Lol. Now still get teary eyes. Everyone is always like what the heck its an action movie. I felt seen watching yall cry. Its so horrible.
More realistic than John wick for sure . I wasn’t to crazy about John wick honestly
Did Jane call the exploiter on the boat “Jabb the hutt” 😂😂😂. Rude 🤣
Sometimes all you gotta do is pay attention and all of your questions about this movie should be answered.
Liam also plays Hannibal Smith in the movie of the A team
There’s a movie called “Human Trafficking” and that movie is 10 times worse than what you saw in this.
The friend is laurel from arrow, the black canary I think she was called
Great reaction! I LOVE that cup Justin is drinking from! I collect mugs like that so I know a cool one when I see it.
43:24 Look up something called "The Milgram Shock Experiment" if you really want to be shocked
I’m sorry but I couldn’t concentrate on the reaction from still laughing at you guys from the ad😂That was great 😂
This movie is even turning Jane into a savage! I love it!
Petition to always have an opening skit with or without a sponsor on all your videos 😂
Have you seen the other Taken? There is a mini series called “Taken” & it is the longest movie to date about u.f.o.’s, alien abduction & super powers! It’s also made by Director Steven Spielberg. It’s got a great cast & cool special effects. It’s worth a look if you have never seen this Taken.
Idk If Y'all Wanna Continue The Trilogy But Taken 3 Is🔥🔥🔥
Most analyst do this from training received, but gifted individuals can do this in the field. Those who are this talented and experienced are like this character in the movie, 3 to 5 moves ahead of their prey. Make no mistake those who are followed by these unique individuals feel like a mouse hunted by a hungry tiger.
Taken 1, 2 and 3 are good movies.
Taken is the best, taken 2 es good and taken 3 is better than taken 2, for me.
Good reaction.
God you guys are giving me anxiety i have watched this before and never cried but now ...
TH-camr was Christina Grimmie, she had performed at the plaza in Orlando and she was doing a meet and greet after. She was sitting beside her brother at the table and a guy walked up and shot her.
final shot, he had to wait until the bad guys started talking. otherwise the reflex would have caused him to cut his daughter. when they talk, their reflex action is relaxed.
If you guys haven't seen/reacted to Man On Fire with Denzel Washington, I highly recommend it. As well as Dragonfly with Kevin Costner. And Whale Rider. Also I don't know if you have seen/reacted to Last Of The Mohicans, or Dances With Wolves. But those are excellent too. Every film I just mentioned is wonderful & epic, & beautiful. Man On Fire is brutal but beautiful. Dragonfly is a BEAUTIFUL supernatural mystery. Whale Rider is an emotional drama, but has a beautiful ending. And Last Of The Mohicans are Early American Frontier & American Indian stories of fiction, but based loosely on real history. Great depictions, great story telling. 👍
Also - The Call & Kidnap, both with Halle Barry, are great movies, & I think both are loosely based on a real events.
I can't speak for Canada - But HT goes on within the US as well. You don't have to travel abroad to be at great possible risk. There are videos on TH-cam that have survivor testimonies, & shine a light on this subject. I'm sure it happens in every country. And corrupt police & government officials working with organized crime syndicates actually enable or facilitate it. Just pray for your kids, & be cautious & aware of your surroundings at all times. Teach them to be alert & aware. And teach them as they grow older to be prepared for anything. Have or carry whatever weapons of self defense that are feasible & legal in your country. Maybe enroll them in basic self defense classes. Also Jane - I want to point out that when you were a teen/young adult, the risks were there for sure, but there was less risk. Just like back in the 50's people used to leave their doors unlocked, & kids stayed out unsupervised until dark. The more time that goes by, the less repressed a nation becomes, the more technology, & corruption, the greater the risk. So that said - sadly, it was somewhat safer for you in your generation, than it will be for your kids. But just as technology can be used to the advantage of the corrupt, it can be used to help keep us safe as well. We now have GPS tracking devices for pets, cars, & children for example. Get your kids fingerprints for safekeeping. Teach them if they are ever in a situation God forbid to put their fingerprints all over the place. They can carry around a small pocket knife or box knife or something to cut any bonds that might be placed on them. And a Bobby pin or something for picking locks. Teach them to think on their toes. Just be as proactive as possible. And teach them to be as well. Look at their cars for markers from these kinds of people. Teach them to give their vehicles a daily once over. And not to fall for any of the common tactics that are used. Sorry not trying to lecture you. I'm sure you're very good parents. I'm trying to encourage you.
