John Wick - Most skillful vigilante, best action scenes and stunts, most entertaining vigilante movie series ever. John Creasy - Most ruthless, brutal, morally just, and emotionally relatable vigilante. Also most terrifying, because he was already a dead man and had nothing to lose. Denzel Washington - Best Actor in a Vigilante Movie and/or Movie Franchise - Man on Fire + The Equalizer Franchise. Keanu Reaves - Most Physically Skillful Actor in a Vigilante Movie and/or Franchise. The dedication to learning the actual martial arts and weapons handling set a new bar. Honorable Mention - Tony Jaa for Physical Skill in Ong Bak and The Protector. Unquestionably more skilled martial artist than Keanu, but lacked the weapons handling.

One thing I appreciated in the first Taken is that, as good as he iS, he would not have been able to achieve the precision narrowing and tracking that he did w/o some lent talents of friends/colleagues. He was not a superhuman action hero - but he was a laser-focused father who was utterly committed to his daughter (and her friend) and vengeful justice against those responsible - so, yeah, he needed some assistance and was clearly a fine enough associate that those who could assisted. It was refreshing b/c he didn't simply step through an endless series lucky breaks: they were earned.
