Clive Standen's spirit strength as an actor is perfectly poured into in the character of Bryan Mills. His martial arts background serves Mills very well. As soon as I recognized he is the lead in "Taken," I made a point of not missing the premier. I am thrilled the show is so good. A quiet and strong character that doesn't hang on the excess of flashy moves to woo the audience is ultra refreshing. I look forward to seeing this show last a long time. The casting is fantastic. The dialogue feels original and true. The sound is outstanding! And best of all, the action flows as honest as the narrative.
