special thanks to my patrons
Love you but disliked the video for the repeated "particular skill" joke.
That "very particular set of skills" line has to be one of the most badass things I've ever heard. Liam Neeson is such a legend.
That's what I'm gonna say when I get my next girlfriend," I have a particular set of skills!"
But they ain't gonna be assassin type skills but the other kind ! Lol, Lol !
@@gregorygant4242tool comment.
@@gregorygant4242 I.e. never.
The Man from Nowhere (2010) has a line that tops that. It's one of my top (if not the top) action films. I can't decide which is top since I just love em. Taken isn't my favorite but chances are it inspired a lot of my favorite action films
"You only live for tomorrow. The ones that live for tomorrow get fucked by the ones living for today. I only live for today. I'll show you just how fucked up that can be"
23:46 Notice how Brian waited for the man to talk before he shot him. Talking slows down the reflexes. It gave Brian an extra half second to aim and shoot, before the man could react.
nice to know... i hope this works for cod too. wish me luck
Works with steering and braking too. Funny thing you do not register that it is slowing you down.
I would say this movie is scary in the sense that it could actually happen, as opposed to being chased by a monster or something less realistic, like you never really see the particulars of what was done to his daughter from her view, just what he discovers about that world as he goes through it and what's being done to others, where you can deduce what happened to her from different people's situations, pretty genius level writing really, because they could have gone super direct and graphic, but I feel is more impactful how it was done.
Yeah, imagine all the creepy stuff they did to deduct that she was ”pure”. Actually effed up.
To be honest you are right. The mom doesn't have a true understanding of what it means to love your kid and your family. She only cares about the money and like he says "you have no clue what danger is out there in the world". She only was nice to Brian when she needed him.
She has a new husband but is still attacking her ex. SMH
The sequels are okay, but it's this first one that really hits home. As you said, "10 out of 10."
I loved your list of "particular skills". Great reaction...your particular skill!!!!!
You really did? I thought it was extra annoying and tiring...
This might be my favorite reaction ever. Not just yours, any. The way you responded to Lenore / Lenny made me so happy. I was married to someone like her for 18 years, her name is literally Karen which I think is apropos. You literally lifted my heart with that.
20 years ago oh, my daughter was 13 and some gang members tried to lure her out of the store we were in. She got scared and ran back to me. She told me what happened. She didn't leave my side. 510 fast and she saw one of them alone. He did one of those head nods with his mouth open, I yelled she's only 13. He said she told us she was 18. I responded no she didn't.
5 minutes later one of the other ones came up to me and apologized saying his brother just got out of prison and they got him drunk. I asked how that was supposed to make me feel better. He said what can I do, I said get your brother and your friend and get the fuck out of here. He said done. And they left.
Needless to say I felt like Liam Neeson in Taken, my daughter did not leave my side for 2 weeks. She had her arm looped through my arm no matter where we went. If I got out to put gas in my truck, she got out with me. She's 33 now and apparent of her own, but she still treats me like I'm Superman.
I am disabled from covid-19, it destroyed me physically. But if someone tried to mess with my daughter, they would struggle to elude my grasp. I don't have all of his particular set of skills, but I have enough of them that I would find them and I would do the same thing he did. I would just be limited to doing it with a weapon.
You should watch him in Rob Roy sometime it's based on a true story and he is brilliant in that as well. Thank you for putting a smile on my face this morning you absolutely Rock
It’s appropriate.
Your daughter is blessed to have such a great father like you. ❤
@@shutupnvibe thank you for the kind words, I'm lucky to have a daughter who loves her dad so much. She has the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known my entire life, unfortunately, like me she chooses whom to love very poorly, which leads to a lot of heartache. Heartache. I've never seen anyone as compassionate as her. And she is a great mom. Have a happy New Year, thank you for putting a smile on my face.
@@russcarvertruthjedi259 She sounds great! Thank you 🙏
Rob Roy would traumatise this reactor because she'd have not a single clue what would be going on. I'm not saying you need to be an expert on Scottish history but it's a window on the Highland Clearances and a really ugly chapter that is a scar on the collective Scottish memory which she'll never be able to identify with except Liam Neeson = good guy and Tim Roth = evil grapeist with typical goldfish mouth agape emotional incontinence. Just a dangerous movie to suggest to 'react' to.
Just another internet talking head throwing his 2 cents into the black hole of the youtube comment section.
Ahh, yes... The movie that made Liam Neeson into a meme.
My dad made me watch the kidnapping scene from this movie when I was 10 to show me “what not to do” and it has traumatized me to this day
good dad tbh
But have you been taken though?
@@DaveH82I have not
Liam Neeson was an Irishman who was an ex-boxer.
Went on to become helluva actor and also an Oscar nominee (Best Actor in Schindler's List, 1993).
20 years plus into his career, the TAKEN franchise made him the new thinking man's action hero.
The phone call scene is unforgettable and major selling point of the movie in it's first trailer.
As well it's a real human being striking out against the real life travesty of human trafficking.
Following the film's success, there was a much bigger crackdown by authorities on sex slavery.
Shoutout to you for watching the unrated version.
Part 2 is as good as the first film.
Part 3 is decisive for not being a good final chapter.
There was a prequel tv series on NBC (2018-2019) for 2 seasons.
The creators of TAKEN are Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, Leon The Professional)
& Robert Mark Kamen (The original Karate Kid films, 1984-94) who wrote many gems together:
The Transporter films with Jason Statham (2002-2008),
Kiss of The Dragon (2001) & Unleashed (2005) with Jet Li and Columbiana (2011).
Check these out if you can.
The line is legendary. Because of Liam's delivery. I could be a cheesy line but he kills it. It's one of those line that only he an Harrison Ford could pull with that effect.
Taken was basically an early version of John Wick that came a few years before. The hype for this movie wasn't quite John Wick levels, but it was pretty epic when it came out.
Me and my friends in high school were constantly quoting the "I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you" line.
Umm Taken is a classic and is always mentioned in one of the best action thriller movies
and John Wick was basically a continuation of the Jason Bourne formula. :)
I was thinking of this movie a few days ago, recently watched it again. Rees' Editing in on point, and that's a particular set of skills. Great reaction and commentary, looking forward to the next one!
its disturbing how accurate this movie is, when i first saw it i was surprised they had the balls to call out the Albanian mafia they deal with most of the trafficking in Europe and most countries especially france ignore it and even cover it up to not look bad its vile and most people would rather pretend it doesn't happen or its less of a problem than it is
im from europe thats how i know
If you want to track traffickers, follow the motor yachts with Arabic or Russian owners especially at events like the Monaco Grand prix. The difference between the Arabs and Russians when it comes to trafficking is the Arabs make the women into one of many wives and the Russians pimp them as prostitutes. Of course they aren't the only races doing that but they would certainly have the monopoly #V4CR
This movie was speaking out against human trafficking way before sound of freedom ever did, but no one gives this movie any recognition for it. Just shows how certain causes are niche circle jerk fests and not real concerns. I can't stand those kinda of fake outrage people.
@@ivankawnartist
Rambo Last Blood did too, but people ignored it considering both Taken and Last Blood are more like action movies using trafficking as a premise. At least Sound of Freedom was based on a true story.
@lonewander6772 What is the factual story they depicted?
At the same time many eastern europeans have pointed out how movies like this feed into America's demonization of eastern europe, which I think is a valid criticism. There's a reason eastern europeans are always mobsters, spies, or just evil in western media.
Never mess with Liam Neeson the guy who played Qui-Gon Jinn, Ra's Al Ghul, Aslan and Bryan Mills.
And who helped save 1300 Jews from the Holocaust
Trained Batman and Obi Wan
He also trained Balian in Kingdom of Heaven.
This was my "John Wick".
I would suggest not watching the other 2. While "2"is not the worst, it still is nowhere near as awesome as this, and part 1 is just the best ending to the franchise.
"Please understand. It was all business. It was never personal."
"It was all personal to me."(Bam!)
Best friggin' line.
Nah, I would watch them.
2 is hilarious when he tells his daughter to throw grenades around the city. 🤣
16:04 when he find the "good luck" guy. Throughout that whole conversation he makes every single member talk. Coincidently it's the guy that said good luck that got the phrase but it was meant as a last resort to whoever he didn't get to hear during that whole convo.
The Auction: "Can you guys just not get girlfriends?"
It's not just about the girls. It's about doing something reprehensible and evil... and getting away with it... because they are rich and powerful.
For some people, after attaining a certain level of wealth and power it becomes about exercising that power in ways that proves they're invincible.
At least until someone like Liam Neeson, with his particular set of skills, disagrees.
Well that and they were buying those girls to sell to clients
Yup, it's all about power and money.
Queria q Liam falac grosso com a ex ... mulher arrogant ❤
Don’t know why this wasn’t suggested or requested more. Absolute love this movie and the sequel. Hope to see taken 2 soon.
Jedis are known to be almost perfect shots because of the foresight that comes with being a Force user
This is the ultimate dad movie
This movie reminds me of the story of Miriam Rodriguez, a mexican woman who's 20 year-old daughter, Karen, was abducted and killed in 2014 by the cartel. Miriam then proceeded to hunt down 10 members who had been involved in the abduction and killing over the next three years, telling a friend "I don’t care if they kill me. I died the day they killed my daughter. I want to end this. I’m going to take out the people who hurt my daughter and they can do whatever they want to me.” Sadly she was gunned down on her driveway in a drive-by (she was walking with crutches at this time since she had recently broken her foot chasing a suspect) by some cartel mebers who had just broken out of prison. Her husband found her lying on the driveway hand inside her purse grasping the handle of her pistol.
Omg I had to pause at 7:42, because you are one of the few people who was on the dad's side from the beginning. He was so right because the world can be very unsaved for women and young women and he saw crazy things firsthand because of his job.
I LOVE this reaction!! the absolute shade in the beginning at Lenny and such, this is a blast!!
Maggie Grace's scream as she's dragged from under the bed gave me chills in the theatre, and even moreso now! 😱🤣😂🤣
She's a good screamer. Like when she was on Lost.
This bespoke list of particular skills is making this movie much funnier than it's supposed to be.
This was the best reaction to this movie yet! The commentary, the cute name calling, the jokes are all excellent 😅.
I realized while watching this that I never actually saw Taken. I kept thinking Taken was Law Abiding Citizen. XD
My old schoolmate Liam at the chapel school in Ballymena.Great guy and never forgot his roots in Ireland.
I always think about deadpool saying "he just wasn't having it" and "they made 3 of those movies at some point you just gotta wonder if he's a bad parent"🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much for this reaction Angelina. Love this film.
Girl, your reaction made me have sooo much fun while watching! 😊❤best reaction!
Particular skill #19: He's a great dad!
TRUE
I love that you reacted to this movie, but I also love that hat. It really works well for you.
This is officially the first time I’ve ever seen anything about this movie aside from the quote about his skills. Why not watch it on one of my favorite reactor channels
Loved your immediate disgust of the ex-wife. :D
You have a particular set of commentary skills and I'm loving them!
Shout out to Resse, put in work on this one lol.
this is an amazing movie and so glad you are doing a commentary 🙂
Don't worry Rece, I take my steak rare too. We just won't tell her.
👌
Great reaction Angelina, made me smile and laugh quite a few times with your commentary. As for your steak question about who eats steak rare; I do eat my steak rare usually. Only time I don't is at great quality restaurants when I have it cooked Blue, which is seared outside but barely cooked inside.
Neeson is a national treasure
Always a fun movie to turn on when it shows up on the tv guide, even if just in the background. Your reactions/comments are identical to mine every time haha. Now for the 2 sequels.
Iconic film
Your reactions are already incredible but holy hell your editor is fantastic
Thank you so much, #ANGELINA, for uploading this awesome movie reaction and commentary. I love your content so much because it's so amazing, and I really enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows and movies.
ANGELINA IS THE BEST.
Her reactions are great and her commentary so cute. She’s adorable and funny and beautiful love her ❤️💛❤️💛😊🙌🙌🙌
This is one of my fav movies. I LOVED IT so much when i first saw it
Lol loved this reaction..definitely following this channel now.
Your reaction was extremely entertaining!
These channel is so good
Darkman (1990) is Liam Nesson as badass superhero, I highly redomended.
Girl watch the second one, its just as good !!
This commentary is so fun to enjoy! Bonjour from France 🇨🇵
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)
The actress that plays the mom is the woman who plays the phoenix in X-men 3
This awesome and fun reaction video about TAKEN 1st movie and Liam Neeson movie careers.
✌🏽😊
Great reaction. Liam Neeson is the best dad ever 😊
What’s terrifying about this film is it is real. This really is happening every single day.. right now.
Welcome back Ange. ❤
One of the most unbelievable things here is that a couple of teenage girls in 2008 are following U2 all across Europe like they were the Backstreet Boys or NSync.
Clearly, you don’t know how nerdy some girls can be. if i had the chance to follow Aerosmith around post Armageddon, I’d have gone. They were my band in the late nineties and early 00s. 🤦🏻♀️
@@mariaghiglieri78 It has nothing to do with nerdiness. A 17-year old girl in 2008 who likes U2 is pushing the suspension of disbelief too far. It would have been more believable if the girls were following a younger rock band, a boy band, or even a DJ. Certainly not U2 because all the dudes they would have met in the concerts would have been middle-aged nerds trying to be cool.
I myself went through a U2 phase when I was in my teens in the 80s but lost interest in them in the early 90s.
Loved your reaction…new sub ☺️
Reese might be the funniest editor 😂
This is one of my favorite reactions of this movie.
Of course he's awesome, he's a mother f-ing Jedi!!!
you must watch the Taken 2 & 3 too!!!!!
great reaction!
her "You came for me?" is so devestating to hear. She was so out of hope. Resigned to her fate. So sad
13:54 A quite literal Offensive Driving Class. They actually exist. For convoys and motorcades etc...
Taken was the first of the “older retired operative kicks ass” genre wasn’t it?
Awesome reaction, good fun!!! thumbs up emoji…just think how many skills after watching Taken 2 and 3???
Equalizer very satisfying too
Great review of the movie, I enjoyed it.
I love the particular skill number fourteen (15). "DDEBUUTUH FOUR STEPS AHEAD" 😅🤣😂
This was a GREAT reaction. Top tier.
Guess who saw the taken movie I did, and afterwards like I was crying because the movie was really touching. I’m I’m glad you had a blast looking at the movie.😓😁 I think loves 💜💜💜your Dad
Human traffickers are truly despicable, disgusting human beings, and the fact that this is still happening is horrible😡
“I don’t know the word is ESCAPING me” hahaha your editor.
Love your reaction to the bit in Jean's home. Brian gave exactly 0 damns
Great reaction!
Yes to the sequel
This was the funniest reaction to this movie I've seen 😂
I am craving an Interstellar reaction. Honestly, any solo movie with Hanz Zimmer on music. Interstellar, Spirit, The DaVinci Code, or Inception.
Ange and Taken? Let's goooo!
Loved the listing/tally 😂
Love your list. I believe the word you were looking for was escapologist
Escapology?
great movie great reaction
Taken 2 is very good to
Yep please do them all, actually just do every movie ever made please!! Because I don't actually think I could get board of watching you react 😅 you bring the best energy and commentary to reactions, I'm making my way throught your library but I'm guna through tou some movies I like hopefully you might give them a pole for reactions or just watch them 😊
Patch Adams,
Short Circuit,
& Phenomenon enjoy 🤟👊
4:40 Currently vego, but my mother being a butcher's daughter I used to eat a lot of steak blue (lightly seared but mostly raw). It really depends on the type and cut of meat, how much fat there is, how much marbling there is, etc..
Awesome reaction. More please.❤❤
This was great 😂😂
10 out of 10 for this review too!
particular skill #1 finding the best reactor to this movie everrrrr!
I enjoyed the list very much!!😂
PARTICULAR SKILL NUMBER...uhh, it doesn't matter! 😂😂Ange you are hilarious
lol “oh, you’re Shanghai-ing him” nice
I subscribed because your funny.😁
Brilliant reaction. You are funny 😂😂😂😂
