What's your favorite action movie?? Should we watch it?
My favorite action movie: TERMINATOR 2
Terminator 2, you've already seen it. I also like 'Leon : The professional', 'Die hard' and Korean films 'Old boy', ' I Saw the devil', ' A bittersweet life' and ' The man from nowhere'. Korean action films are too violent and hardcore compared to Hollywood films.
Salt. And you guys haveee to react to it. Starring Angelina Jolie and she's a bad ass. It has a similar vibe to Taken.
Leon: The Professional &the Die Hard movies 👍🏾
My favorite action movie is Fast and Furious
Liam Neeson was 55 years old when he filmed Taken. He was pretty much a dramatic actor before his role in Taken transformed his career into a action star.
We did get a taste of the action star in him with Ra's Al Ghul. But yes, Taken took him up and away!
@@davidkessinger1581 Errr Schinder's List
@@Dazbog373 you call that an action movie?
@@Lingiskhan well sh*t certainly goes down
@@davidkessinger1581 And prior to that, Qui-Gon Jinn and Rob Roy.
This guy was a Jedi Master, he led a secret organization of assassins, he trained Obi-Wan Kenobi and Batman, he led the A-Team, he fought a pack of wolves with his bare hands, he ruled Narnia and Mount Olympus, and someone was stupid enough to kidnap his daughter.
He also managed to hold the entire Nazi system at bay for years as Oskar Schindler - dont forget that!
Garlic Jr - Oh my god you stole Goku's kid.
@@fettel1988 I understood that reference!
And he brought a whole mess of Kentucky backwoods kinfolk to aid his little brother Patrick Swayze take down the criminals that killed their baby brother Bill Paxton in Next of Kin.
@@fettel1988 I would love if they made such a reference in this movie 😂
The thing that really gets me about this movie is how infuriatingly and heartbreakingly true it is when it comes to the very real, very pervasive issue of sex trafficking of women and young girls so prevalent in this world. It truly depresses me.
It was infuriating for me because you're in a foreign country and her friend is (sorry to say) stupid. Why are you telling a stranger all this info. But what's sad is that this happens in real life too
He is correct in that this happens much more than people realize. Tourists and foreigners make very good targets. My mom made sure to sit me down when I went abroad and gave me the talk that most government and military employees take about not giving out information, not telling people you are alone, or anything that will make you a very attractive target.
I was merely talking about the fact that lost sex trafficking doesn’t happen like this. It actually is Closer to a cult Convincing women that they have a family and what not.
@@whitenoisereacts I'd love to agree with you, but sometimes it does happen this way. Brainwashing is better but takes time. This way is easier when you have access to drugs.
@@whitenoisereacts Perhaps in the US, but in Europe there are so many immigrants moving westward from the middle east and eastern Europe at risk from this kind of predatory behavior, and I can definitely see this kind of trick working on many of them, especially the uneducated and unwary.
Once they have you and degrade you it's always going to be harder to feel like you can just run away - because they wont hesitate to tell you that you are damaged goods and many women/girls will believe it under the right conditions.
You hear about the millions of Ukrainians that evacuated the country at the start of the war in February onwards - almost exclusively women and children, and you have to know that so many of them are critically at risk from unscrupulous people taking advantage of the chaos for profit.
When the family went to the Philippines, it didn't even take a trained eye to notice people shadowing us in public places. We were all wearing our valuable info and money in a secret place separate from the wallets in our pockets.
Yep, I never went overseas, but those talks were always a little disturbing to me
oh wow, didn't know there was a version of this film that changed the torture scene. the scene i remember is that instead of bryan latching electrical clamps on marko's chair, he takes two metal rods and stabs them through his thighs to directly shock him.
I thought my mind was playing tricks on me.
I was wondering, I was thinking oh I guess it started on the chair so I was waiting for him to stab him in the legs and when I didn't see it I thought maybe the reactors cut it out.
He stabbed him with the nails then attached the clamps. This video was heavily edited for TH-cam.
PG15 as opposed to R
That's the one I remember as well. I gaslighted myself out of it lmao
14:56 Nice to see James paying attention to the instructions as though he's about to be abducted himself 😂
Dude I got into it!! 😂😂
Liam Neeson did this movie because it was being shot overseas and even though he’s originally from Ireland, he spent most of his adult life in the United States as a working actor and he wanted some time off to go back to Europe. This was supposed to be a direct video type of movie but it became such a hit that spawned two sequels and introduced Liam Neeson into entire new genre films as the older action star where he’s made more money now than he ever had as an actor before this
The thing I enjoy most about Taken is the lack of hesitation during action scenes. There's no forcing in monologues that other action movies are known to do. Black Adam gave a couple references to this by trying to get Teth Adam to say a catchphrase before taking down the bad guys but when he remembered to do that and tried, he was still too late because he wasn't gonna waste his time talking.
It's down and dirty. It's REAL action.
@White Noise Reacts
Just so you know, the scene at 32:00 is the censored version. The original had Liam stabbing nails into the guy’s legs, then attaching the cables to the nails.
I just wanted to thank you for this channel my son was was just diagnosed with type one diabetes last week and when I was in the ICU of children’s hospital praying that my son would be ok I would listen to you guys and it would take all the stress away so I could handle the new world that me and my family now live in thank you so much it was a life saver for me
I am so sorry! What is his name so we can keep him in our prayers?
@@whitenoisereacts Austin Fox he is 13
I wish all the best for you and your son!
Praying for your family
The first Taken movie's budget was $25 million (relatively low for a major movie). So probably explains some of the production decisions like editing and stuff like that. Has kinda an independent feel to it
I think the editing, especially for the fight scenes, is due to Liam Neeson being old and not very experienced in action so they need to do a lot of cuts so you can't see the details of the action scenes quite as clearly.
@@theshadowfax239 true but 55 ain’t technically not that old. Charles Bronson was still doing deathwish movies in his 70s
A crazy behind the scenes story...one of the women working on this movie had an ex-boyfriend who would not stop calling her. Liam picked up the phone during one of these calls, and briefly talked to him. He never called her again.
That "particular set of skills" line is famous now, and very menacing. Speaking quietly can be more intimidating than yelling.
They had a campaign for the next movie where the winner would get a recommendation from Liam Neeson in LinkedIn saying that you have a particular set of skills. ;)
Sure that happened smdh
@@BamaMatters11 he tells the story
It was Maggie Grace (his taken daughter) herself who told the story on Conan. Liam Neeson prank called the ex.
“It’s insane how calm he is.”
“Yeah that’s how’s you know he’s legit.” Hahahaha I’m rolling!
I remember watching this movie for the first time during health/wellness class in high school, guess they really wanted us to get the full concep and experience of stranger danger cause let me tell you I never wanted lo leave my house and let alone travel after watching this movie 👀
Wow…that’s kinda awesome. Great way to teach that
@@whitenoisereacts Same here, wathed the movie in high school, in class, back when it was still pretty new (08/09)
The movie that forced the French Government to contact the US State Department and made them issue a statement about how safe it was to travel to Paris.😂
Is that for real?
lol
As an Albanian girl, i would say that this movie and the second one are very accurate and shows Alot about our country🤣🤣
I never thought there would be a foreign movie about Albanians at all. This movie surprised me Alot
Thanks for the reaction guys 👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Its very sad that this is funny to you.. is this how you cope with this??! Or do you find it amusing that people do this to eachother?
They traffic women over in Albania?
@@Randomyoutubecommenter They do it in a lot of countries. We just don't like to admit it.
There is an Albanian plot element in Denzel Washington's Inside Man which came out a couple of years earlier.
It's a lot lighter in tone than anything in this movie though 😅
@@Randomyoutubecommenter Any place a regular stream of immigrants pass through you can guarantee that sex trafficking happens.
They show the Albanians using the airport in this film to identify and pick up people - but the reality is that it is far easier to monitor the immigration corridors that are not well attended like a major airport without getting caught.
This idiot Peter would need some sort of govmt help to avoid being picked up by police for constantly lingering outside a major airport with no good reason fot it.
Top Travel Tips:
1 - Keep your documents safe.
2 - Pack some water tablets.
3 - Keep emergency cash on standby.
4 - Make sure your dad is Liam Neeson.
Who else feels bad for Amanda? Must’ve been a terrible way to go out.
Yeah that’s horrible
I feel bad for her too. And I don't mean to victim-blame here, but at the same time, Amanda blindly trusting a guy she and Kim just met and kind of forcing Kim into it made the following events her fault in a way.
@@aleaanderson6600 her naivety played a part in their situations but remember she’s 19. She’s still technically a teenager so not really her fault. These kinds of organizations shouldn’t even exist.
@@SusanaCanales1 Which is why Brian Mills was understandably worried about his daughter traveling all around Europe "without adult supervision". Kinda wish the mom wasn't so dismissive and maybe Brian could've briefed Kim on what things she should be wary of when traveling. Like being too friendly with strangers and sharing too much personal information is definitely a no-no.
@@SusanaCanales1 I’m 19 too and i know not to trust a random guy i just met😂 we 19 year olds are not dumb but I understand your point
I feel like part of the popularity of this movie is that it adds upon the Bourne style of action. The fast cuts and very European vibe of filmmaking.
All of Liam Neeson’s films are the fantastic. The top one I recommended is the Commuter because it has mystery that the audience has to solve as well.
And the one on the plane... I am bit frustated because i can't guess who is the villain...
The movie you're referring to is "Non-Stop" and it's really good also
This is such a good movie, it highlighted human trafficking without being too graphic and implicit. Everyone should watch this movie before they go solo travelling. It might sound terrible, but being "nice" can make you a target for scammers and other
I am not a fan of the sequels. This is best as a standalone.
I am so happy you watched it.
This movie is like Liam's audition for playing James Bond..apparently he was pretty close to actually becoming Bond, obviously a few years ago now.. great reaction as always guys ,until the next one have a great week 🇬🇧👍
Really? That woulda been wild!!!
I remember watching this movie with my family; it's still entertaining even though the backdrop is really dark. The scene where Amanda got kidnapped scared my brother; he couldn't even listen to the song that was playing in the background. Nobu roasting the guy's forehead made me laugh, and I agree, the ending was really sweet ♪
Oooh nice, looking forward to it guys! 🙂
Right!! Lol
I like to call the genre the "reverse slasher," where the good guy is the one that just shows up out of nowhere, going around killing all the goons like Michael Meyers kills teens. Die Hard, and John Wick are also examples.
Yeah I love that
If you haven’t seen them, The Bourne trilogy movies with Matt Damon are incredible - The Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, and Bourne Ultimatum. There are others added on because of the popularity of these movies, but they pale in comparison. The original trilogy is from the great books by Robert Ludlum.
Great movies :D
I hope they consider reacting to the originaly Bourne trilogy
Up
Liam Neeson played so many of my favorite people in movies he played Aslan in Narnia he played in taken and many more I just love him
For Liam Neeson, it was a risky role (fortunately, the film broke the box office and paid off the budget) but at the same time, he had decent baggage behind his back - he worked as a teacher, was engaged in boxing (because of this, by the way, he has such a nose) and fortune smiled on him. At that time, I didn't know anything about movies because I didn't listen to other people's opinions and reviews + I didn't have a home Internet with the exception of Opera 6 on Sony Erickson, and this film didn't let me down and became a favorite action movie for all time on a par with Skyfall and Jack Reacher, and occasionally I review it.
I love that he never fully lost his accent 😊 also love how you guys get so into these films and often speak from the perspective of the character
I like the editing on this. The style appeals to me, and feels a little frenetic or ad hoc, which is basically where the character is, everything about tracking down his daughter is ad hoc. We hear a reference, see a blurry crooked shot, that suddenly comes into clear focus, as in the red door. It mirrors exactly how the character is following the trail.
I remember hearing somewhere a quote from a pimp, the gist of which was that sex trafficking was better than other types of illegal gain because you could beat the women, and they do what you want :(
This is one of my very favorite movies. So stoked to see this reaction!!
Thanks :)
Great reaction, y'all were really immersed in movie !
The great thing about this movie is that even though it's mainly action there was a thriller vibe and tension throughout that made you feel the stakes, and it was done very well.
Also the fact that Liam Neeson isn't juyts constantly beating everyone senseless and uses tactics like when he put the Mike on the guy or when he investigates.
Also the actress who played the daughter, Maggie Grace, was still young but she was already acting great.
Liam did dramatic comedic and sci-fi/fantasy roles and he was damn good at them. Then, his wife Natasha Henstrich died via head injury during a skiing trip. He went dark for a few years, completely disappeared....and then he returned to the film industry with Taken. He's been reborn as an action/thriller star ever since.
Natasha Richardson was his wife, and she died a year after Taken was released. Taken 2008, Natasha 2009.
His wife died a year after Taken and he didn’t disappear. He continued to make movies that came out shortly after she had died.
I remember seeing this in theaters, was so....taken....with it. The other Takens are fun but kinda repetitive. You guys should react to Edge of Darkeness, similar movie with Mel Gibson. Red Sparrow is a great thriller you can't miss
I can't remember if yall already did this one, but the A-Team is a lot of fun and also has Liam in it!
*MAN ON FIRE!!!* The one with Denzel Washington.... That is a man on a similar mission. Great movie as well.
"He's a legend in a job he doesn't even have!" Perfect, lol!
Right??
When it comes to pre John Wick action movies that stay more grounded rather than falling into over the top cheese, the only ones I can think of are this, Man on Fire and the Bourne films.
You guys are going for some killer movies lately and i'm all up for it. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work :)
Thanks man!!
This is one of my dad's top favorites. As someone who is just as "old school" at the age of 23, you are definitely not an old man for agreeing with the pops. As a young girl growing up who's father was just as protective I can tell you I would have done the things you mentioned during "Peter's" introduction just to be cautious, especially overseas.
Maybe that's just a result of watching way too many crime shows combined with having veterans/law enforcement for parents but one can never be to careful.
Now that I'm older, I kinda laugh at the fact that the daughter got so excited over going to Paris. I even heard of French people living outside of Paris putting down the idea of visiting the city due to how bad the violence and crime is.
"You have an overly shinning forehead like come on"💀😂🤣
Such a good movie. Taken 2 is JUST as good. Which isn’t usual for sequels. But it’s epic. I think you will love it
Agreed- sequel very good, however the 3rd one was bland.
An action movie way before Taken where the hero also goes all out to protect his family is Face/Off(1997) starring Nic Cage and John Travolta and directed by John Woo. John Woo's style is famous for gun-fu action scenes with a lot of shots with doves, slow mos and somersaults. I feel like you guys would very much enjoy the character interactions there. It's also one of the best action films leading up to the year 2000. There's a lot of campiness with the acting that not many movies get away with but it gets a pass here, actually it's very necessary because of the theme, and the two leads absolutely deliver on their roles.
Face/Off is an excellent movie!
ty Ty TY! I follow over a dozen movie reactors and you are the first to react to Taken (my favorite action movie and trilogy).
Octokrool also reacted to it :)
aww you guys got the dumbed down version. In the original version when he's torturing the guy, he rams 2 metal rods into his knee caps and then attaches the electrical wires.
I'm glad you guys reacted to this one. I remember watching this movie when I was about 17 and as a young girl it really opened my eyes to the cold, grotesque world out there I was oblivious to. Whenever I remember this movie, I think about how this is the reality for so many families out there. May God help them, and God protect us all, Ameen.
Love your channel, guys. Keep it up, James and Nobu! ❤️
I absolutely love this movie! I watched it on repeat when it first came out. Great reaction, guys! Other one man army movies to consider watching are; Man on Fire, The Transporter, Soldier, Atomic Blonde, Rambo franchise, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Kick-Ass, Mad Max Franchise, Pitch Black, Desperado, Dredd, Crank, The Punisher Franchise, Ong Bak, The Protector..
I still remember when I first saw Liam Neeson in Excalibur and Krull. The parts I always remember him in the most though are High Spirits and Rob Roy.
I was a teenager late 80’s/early 90’s and Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme were the pinnacle of one man ass kicking then. I think you two might enjoy some of those movies. Glad you reacted to this it was fun 😊
I would also add to this the Holy Trinity of Action at the time : Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Willis.
As a parent of a young woman, 17 is too young if you have not travelled much. However, my daughter was 22 when she went to India by herself for a year.
I'm 30 now and I still don't feel comfortable traveling alone to other countries. It's common sense to be wary.
I call this movie "Liam Neeson and the killer throat chop"
I didn’t know there was like censored version where he Dosent stab the screws into the duded legs and doesn’t unload his gun in the dude in the elevator and doesn’t show him shooting buddy in the face when he was fight all those people lol
That’s lame
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)
Oh yes the Bourne movies are great too!!!
Dude, don't send them to Rob Roy. That's just painful. Like, beginning to end. Every time I watched it...just yesus, what more...oh, why they bad guys are going to torture, assault the family, etc. And it's 3 hours of the horrors that happened to him. I mean, the story is important. But ffs, its just hurt, hurt, hurt some more, and when that family is as broken as possible, why, more assault. And then, finally, back together...but they are never going to deal with their traumas. Nope. I have watched it 3 times and each time, where is the heroic resolution? It's a true story and that carries its own weight but I'm serious. For all the good in a movie that is telling about this man who keeps overcoming all the weight of his world, there's only more planets added to his shoulders, never a real time when he had it lightened. Don't do that to them, don't do that to anyone. It's not a bad movie. It's great in its own way but it hurts your heart, your mind, your soul, and never gives you a balm or bandaid except for like 10 minutes at the end. That is mean, man. But everything else Neeson, I get behind.
I tell everyone to watch "Nell" because I think it's sad and beautiful at the same time. Now more sad because it's the movie where he fell in love with his wife, who died. I find it an interesting study of hermits. Extremely sad, but extremely uplifting in the end.
@@andidreyes5323 I don't know what you are talking about. It is a great movie.
@@totomomo18 Sure.
Hell yesss. This is what I wanted
The ONE problem that I had with this movie is that her "friend" was completly forgotten about. (And at 42:36, a correction to your analysis, Dad saved his own daughter not the step-dad's daughter)
Amanda was the Step-fathers Daughter!? So she was Kims stepsister? I must have missed that part of the story when I watched the Whole movie years ago. And I agree that his Ex-wife was rather rude to him and not concerned about her 17 year old Daughter traveling around Europe, just her and Amanda! Seriously!? What a horrible lesson for her and a Terrible lesson for Kim. Dad got the respect in the end though.
Taken was a new type of action film. Instead of a martial artist or bodybuilder, they cast an actor in the lead role.
I hope you watch the other two. Would love to see what you think about them compared to the first one.
This is exactly the kind of movie they are talking about when they say edge of your seat. My ass was clenched the entire last 40min of this movie 😂 So good.
First this is the safe version, in the interrogation he drove nails into Marco's legs then connected cables to them.
Second, you need to watch shooter and the accountant.
My bad!!! It was the YT version!!
@@whitenoisereacts yt version is a good excuse lol
Liam Neeson's team couldn't work with him fully , because they're not retired. They still work for agency. They couldn't go rogue , and go do some secret mission without their knowledge
I think y’all would enjoy Shooter (Mark Wahlburg) and the Accountant (Ben Afflack)
Guys i watch you two from Italy! Ciao siete fantastici!
DIE HARD AND THE BOURNE IDENTITY. PLEASE. SUCH WONDERFUL ACTION MOVIES
Edit: ALSO THE ACCOUNTANT. INCREDIBLE.
Lol
I read a review once for Taken 2, that said "People have always respected Liam Neeson, but it wasn’t until Taken that people really RESPECTED Liam Neeson, as in you wouldn’t EVER spill this man’s drink!" 👊
i love the other Taken movies this one is my favorite. Others : Lethal Weapon movies, Die Hard movies, Face Off, Law Abiding Citizen, Man on Fire, Man apart, Double jeopardy, Kiss the Girls, Along came a spider, Roadhouse, When a stranger calls, Joy Ride, The Glass House, Twister, A day after tomorrow, Street Kings, Point Break, Under Siege, Dante's Peak, Speed, The Fugitive, In the line of fire, the bone collector, a time to kill, the bodyguard, 48 hrs. , etc
You guys should check out Payback with Mel Gibson, if you like the one man army, revenge type of movie. It's even earlier than Taken, and Mel doesn't really have a particular set of skills, he's just a badass.
The equalizer was pretty awesome, worth a watch. Earlier action movies with a similar feel are the Bourne movies. Luc Besson is a great film guy, he also wrote the Transporter movies
19:50 Hah ha, lol, GOAT commentary - he must have been!
Another movie to consider is Ransom from 1996 starting Mel Gibson and Gary Sinise. Criminally underrated
"The Witch: Part 1: The Subversion" (2018) - Action, Thriller, Mystery, Supernatural
The mother’s actress name Is Famke Janssen a Dutch Actress and yes 👍 she played Jean Grey in the original X-men trilogy until she got replaced by another actress Rebecca Romijn Stamos and yes she’s married to John Stamos yes uncle Jessie from full house 🏠!
While you're on the action train and have gotten to series. You should check out the 2004 Punisher film (and the 'punisher: dirty laundry' short that followed) if you havent seen it. Think you would enjoy
Thanks for the reaction. Excellent!
we need battle royales of:
male characters:
John Wick (Keenu Reeves)
Taken (Liam Neeson)
The Accountant (Ben Affleck)
Man On Fire (Danzel Washington)
The Equalizer (Danzel Washington)
The Transporter (Jason Statham)
female characters:
Salt (Angelina Jolie)
Colombiana (Zoe Saldana)
Atomic Blonde (Charlize Theron)
anyone else I'm missing?
who would win?
Missing Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt
🖖
I only knew what was going to happen in the film as this was a eppisode on family guy where Meg got taken and Stewart and Brian rescue her 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I REALLY ENJOYED TAKEN AND ENJOYED THE STORY WHERE WE GET TO SEE BRYAN MILLS( PLAYED BY LIAM NESSON) DO SOME REALLY GOOD ACTION ESPECIALLY FOR A MAN HIS AGE👏👏. LOVED THE EMOTION WHERE WE GET TO SEE BRYANS RELATION/CONNECTION WITH HIS FAMILY, ESPECIALLY HIS DAUGHTER🥲. THE ACTION SEQUENCES WERE NOT UP TO THE MARK IF YOU WATCH IT NOW BUT FOR THAT TIME IT WAS ACCEPTABLE IN A WAY👍. BUT ITS A FUN AND ENTERTAINING MOVIE🔥
Ah, this is the 'clean' version, where he attaches the electric clamps to the chair instead of the two spikes he impales in the guy's legs.
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, this 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.
Part 2 is great.
Part 3 is decisive for not being a good finale.
A prequel tv series to the first film ran 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).
They wrote many other incredible, gems together:
Kiss of The Dragon (2001), The Transporter films with Jason Statham (2002-2008), Unleashed (2005) and Columbiana (2011).
So you got to watch all of these if you can.
I really liked the prequel series and wish it ran longer
A couple of things never addressed in the movie... 1. The death of her friend. 2. The potential ptsd from being kidnapped. 3. Any consequences from shooting up Paris and all the killing.
my sister was going to paris on a school trip so she was watching it but for some reason mum also made me watch. I WAS 12!!! i started crying and didn’t want my sister to go to paris 😭😭
This was the OG John Wick
The darkness was too real it made me angry and scared for both him and his daughter can you imagine? Not knowing what all is going on or if you'll succeed your kid could be gone. 😭
Recommend: Nobody
Campy but action fun Ninja Turtles 1-2 90's
And Death Sentence (2007)
Honestly, after finding out she and the mother straight lied about all the places she was going all pity left me. Kind of deserves what she gets.
This is some kind of toned down version? He connected cables to chair, I saw a version where he puts two nails into guys legs and connects cables to them.
Thanks for taking mine and others' recommendation :) this is a great trilogy. ♥
A favorite Liam movie of mine is a comedy/action called Gun Shy with Sandra Bullock and Oliver Plath.
I got really surprised by the title, like in Spanish we know this movie as Búsqueda implacable which means smth like Relentless serch, and idk, I lowkey think is better in Spanish jjajajaaj
Over here, human trafficking and drugs is a big problem. There's been girls walking home from school who have been shoved into cars, in broad daylight. One of them managed to jump out of the moving car, thank heavens. The people behind it all also do "spotting" at shopping centres. They follow you EVERYWHERE. I've been followed and luckily some kind guys in a computer shop helped me to sit in their office at the back of the store. They watched and made sure the guy was gone. Also walked with me back to my car. It's a very scary feeling being followed like that!! While sitting in that office, I just prayed. 🙏🏻
Living here is a skill! 😂
Thanks, guys! No one's done this one. Hadn't seen it in years. Really enjoyed.
I miss liam as a dramatic actor
You guys need to watch John Woo's movie Hard Boiled. It's possibly the most insane gun choreography every filmed. It puts John Wick to shame, although Wick is obviously a nod to John Woo's Hong Kong films. The film is early 90's to the core, and the score will be hilarious today, but the action will leave your jaw open. It's so over the top, and it will make you wonder how they shot it.
Never mess with Liam Neeson or his family!
I liked this Taken. Liam Neeson is brilliant.
* For me, best action movie, of all time, has to be the Bourne series. Love Matt Damon love the soundtrack!
* love Kate Beckinsale in some of the Underworld series, lots of great fight scenes
* V for Vendetta is an underrated piece of art in my opinion. Nice action scenes.
* Elektra, Jennifer Garner. Brilliant fight scenes.
This is always such a good movie! The sequels are fun too! At least the ones I saw I forgot how many there were.
My daughter is NEVER going on holiday. Ever.
Y’all probably didn’t the best job editing this video out of all who reacted to this on yt. Great context shown in cuts🗣💯
Taken was sort of a proto-John Wick.
I would have liked to hear more about how you feel about the message of the movie. I understand that you review film techniques, but i would like to hear more about human trafficking, corruption? It might be a but heavy, but i would really like, not just this film, others too, the message. What do you think about the context and deeper messages that after being portrayed?
Ok, sure, that’s a really good point. I’ll keep that in mind for future reactions
