Review of Taken

Taken (2017–2018)
6/10
Reminded me of "The Blacklist" and now "Blacklist: Redemption"
28 February 2017
After 3 iterations of the film "Taken", I wondered if this prequel to the franchise was exhausted. I was pleasantly surprised, but not quite aroused.

Clive Standen portrays a younger Bryan Mills well, tho I'm tired of the 3-day-beard look amongst anti-terrorist protagonists. His skills are quietly honed for espionage and his character flaws should enhance the role...much like Tom Keen in "The Blacklist".

Similar to Harold Cooper in "The Blacklist", Jennifer Beals appears to be heading central operations with a cold and direct manner that I hope breaks.

I enjoyed this enough to put it in my queue.
