TAKEN (2008) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@ajandselena]

We hope you all enjoy our reaction to the movie Taken, we had so much fun watching it! Leave us with any suggestions for movies that you all would like us to react to!

[@nothernmonkey8612]

May I suggest reacting to BIKER BOYZ or TORQUE both motorbike movie's that have become cult classics. When the media were saying that Black panther was the first majority black movie. I was no chance I think kid rock is the only cracker in BIKER BOYZ 👍

[@kenturoni]

For me taken 2 is better than 1, but its me though.. anw great reaction

[@EE-fy9id]

Any chance you could react to TRANSFORMERS (2007)

[@maggie_rhee_wählt_blau]

Hello! Great Reaction Video! Part 2 is better than Part 1 in my Opinion! Maybe you want to go on with this Franchise!

[@Slayer-x4j]

Movie recommendation: Korean film 'the man from nowhere (2010)', which was influenced by Taken and Man on Fire and influenced John Wick series.

[@dsscam]

John Wick vibes, my a-s! Taken was 7 years BEFORE John Wick. John Wick stole everything he knew from Bryan Mills.

[@AlexandruFlorea1990]

I totally agree with you, I've actually always been saying that John Wick is the guy you want to revenge your death but if you want to be saved Bryan Mills is the guy you want !

[@WilliamKremin-pm5re]

Stole what?? I don’t see a whole lot of similarities between the two movies.

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

Yea for some reason all of these reactors think they're were no action movies before John wick and compare every movie to it. It's really weird. There was life before John wick m

[@Allhavengames]

Rumor has it before Bryan retired he actually trained John Wick

[@robbob5302]

Except for how to keep a camera steady during a fight scene. Wick learned that from somebody else.

[@DavidConnors-k8y]

26:30 "It 'wasn't personal'? You took my daughter and SOLD her. It doesn't GET any more personal."

[@andrewsawyer1375]

Could imagine talking & having to listen to your daughter scream. Sitting there & couldn't stop it.

[@bigb2494]

You guys should check out Denzel Washington in The Equalizer. Liam Neeson actually said in an interview that The Equalizer 1 and 2 (3 hadn't been done at the time) were amongst his favorites that he could watch over and over.

[@VictorLugosi]

Random fact, he didn’t say that and you’re a racist

[@wiseoldman53]

Agreed! If you liked this, you'll love the Equalizer trilogy.

[@taylormoye7098]

I thought equalizer came out in 2014?

[@bigb2494]

@@taylormoye7098 the first one did. Part 3 came out in '23, Liam did the interview in '22. He was excited about Denzel working on part 3.

[@peaknonsense2041]

Denzel is one of the only actors I believe is generally just a good man.

[@VictorLugosi]

That girl is a real life pop star.. she had a no1 hit in Europe..

If someone took my kid, no matter my child's age, I would go to the ends of the earth, & Hell itself to get my child back, no matter the consequences to myself!! Great reaction!! Keep them coming!! Hell hath no vengeance as a pissed off father!!

[@toolsreviewsandmore5326]

If only life would be like in the movies. In reality if something like this happens ,you are helpless if you're not this guy ( connected,ex CIA )

[@arconeagain]

She's really Holly Valance, and she did have a short pop music success. She's Australian and comes from TV soapie called Neighbours. That is where Margot Robbie came from before her big Hollywood success, and pop princess Kylie Minogue. Neighbours was shot near my mate's place un Melbourne, and as kids in the 80s and 90s, we'd all watch it after school. It was massive in the UK, hence trying to turn them into pop stars. The rival sopie is Home and Away, that's where the Hemsies come from.

[@gregcummings2826]

Taken was more reminiscent of Denzel Washington's Equalizer films than it was of the John Wick films to me

[@VictorLugosi]

Equaliser is based on the taken books..

[@markcruz359]

You cant kidnap someone thats already been kidnapped. But you can save them

[@WilliamKremin-pm5re]

I love the Taken series. I think the 3rd is the best, followed by the first, then the second. I really like Leem Nieson as an actor. Another movie I really like him in is the A-team. I liked your reaction. Good job guys. Can’t wait to see your reaction to the rest of the John Wick and Taken movies.

[@THECAR99]

3rd is the worst. Kinda hated his friend got killed

[@TD-mg6cd]

I think you talked over the part where Sam explained that they only had to get the singer to and from the show, and other security would handle the concert. Brian was in her dressing room before the show, so they would be backstage by design.

[@cflournoy1529]

Technically it wasn’t “them” that was being stupid. The friend was the one doing all the talking and giving that guy all the information about where they were staying.

[@obersmith]

actually the pop-star in the movie is/was a singer turned into actor Holly Valance.

[@gman7329]

Actually she was an actor first.

[@obersmith]

that could be, i only saw her as a singer first, then actor.

[@gman7329]

@@obersmith not sure what country you are from but guessing not Australia, she was on a sappy tv series here for years (think Bold & the beautiful or something like that) many Aussie actors & singers started the same way. Chris Hemsworth, Kylie Minogue just to name a few.

[@DavidAugustine-lc4cj]

What's even crazier, is that it took Liam Neeson 10 years of his acting career to convince Hollywood he could carry the lead in an ACTION movie! Hollywood had become so used to muscle bound action stars like Arnold, Stallone, Jean Claude Van Damme, they couldn't understand how a tall rake of a guy like Neeson who wasn't a typical athletic ripped gym bunny could possibly be an Action star! 😮

[@SG-js2qn]

IMO, it's basically a perfect movie. Strong dad energy. "The Equalizer" is also good. Similar vibe, and it came out within a month of "John Wick" ... actually earning more money than Wick. As for the sequels to this ... they're not bad, but the first film is perfect.

[@AlejoRevolutions]

Nice reaction, looking forward to the next ones!👍🏼

[@chaunceyadams870]

There is a tv series about millis that shows his background on how he got involved saving people who were taken the series has the same name I think it’s worth watching

[@THECAR99]

It's based of the same name

You are a beautiful couple. I understand that you are new at reacting to movies. So, a learning curve is to be expected. I love the film that you selected. Great movie! Great actor.! However, the editing job, not so great. A certain amount of relevant dialog was omitted.

[@Aka_daka]

Liam Neeson at his best here. the 2nd one is pretty good too.

[@musicloverchiefsfan5410]

Schindler's List was his best film. He was great in this as well, and the Taken series has pretty well defined his movie career according to pop culture, but his performance in Schindler's List was his top-tier performance.

I think you guys were kind of harsh and yes it was the mom's doing a little bit but I believe she didn't know her daughter was going to be taken and the way that she was acting she actually cares about her daughter and she doesn't know the world like Brian does that man has been places the mom has not and she does not have special skill set if she did she would have went right with Brian it's a good thing she didn't go she probably would have been killed so yeah I think yeah being kind of harsh and no one is perfect

Correction: The principal (the person a bodyguard protects) does not owe the bodyguard his or her life. It is literally their job to protect the principal.
