![I'm kind of getting it I think! [Disco Elysium]](/img/1.gif)
“You know, they made three of those movies. At some point, you have to wonder if he was just a bad parent.” -Wade Wilson
Was thinking of that EXACT Line when I saw this video 😂
jean claude had just told our hero that he didn't care who got hurt as long as his family was taken care of. liam was just making explicitly graphic to him what it feels like to be a victim of someone who doesn't care if even friends get hurt when it comes to his family's safety.
Liam Neeson used to be a substitute teacher... Took over a class with a bully who refused to show the substitute respect and sit down for class. William, as he went by back then, stood his ground and confronted the kid in class who then attacked Liam... Liam layed him out with one punch, I believe got fired for defending himself... Then got into acting. Such a crazy story.
Many people say Jean Claude's wife didn't deserve to be shot by Bryan. Maybe not, But the thing is, Bryan just found the dead body of his daughters friend in the same house where he found that dirt bag Marko as he electrocuted him to death. He was running out of time, and when he shot Jean Claude's wife, it was to show him how he's not messing around and he'll do anything to get his daughter back.
Plus, it's Jean Claude's own fault for being involved in this horrible business.
it was a flesh wound. She'll live
@@dominiqueodom3099"Please apologize to your wife for me."
Another side effect of that shooting was that Jean Claude would now be forced to tell his wife why she was shot and she would very likely leave him.
@jerryrpettus1926 if he shot Jean Claude the wife would feel sympathy for him and possibly not question why. Shooting her will upset her a whole lot and would definitely leave him. That level of thought in the script is overlooked in what people see as an action flick. Btw cool first name.
Ok so his wife did nothing wrong and you are arguing (with vigor) she deserved to be shot?
The most unbelievable part of this movie is the idea that a teenager in 2009 would be thrilled to follow a U2 tour.
haha nice one :P
Best part of this movie is it's no bs just gets right into it and non stop action for 1 hr 30 mins. Liam is awesome. Father of the year award!
Fun fact: This movie was considered a turning point in Liam Neeson’s career, as he concentrated on action thriller films going forward.
I always liked him as Darkman way before these. But glad he got so popular after this
maybe for the general audience, but for me, it was the role of Ra's Al Ghul from Batman Begins. To this day, I find him to be on par with Heath Ledger's Joker.
Scariest thing about this movie is that this stuff is really happening on a daily basis more then people can imagine
It’s even worse than this.
Demons love baby blood.
Especially Eastern Europe and most Middle East countries. Women and children are like toys to be played with.
Yeah, it’s happening to immigrants, child runaways, and children in poor/vulnerable positions, not blonde rich girls from the suburbs
When our own government lost track of over 300k migrant children this summer. It's a gd nightmare.
Yea…. I’m ac- nvm
Natalie: "Oh no, oh no... She's going to be taken in Paris isn't she?"
Jen: (Channels his inner Holden)... "Who's to say" 🤣🤣🤣
Come on Jen you dropped the ball, that would of been your moment to shine lol
Yeah. hehe yeah its funny how we all adapt phrases and mannerisms of our friends and partners hehe.
Paris has been illegally saturated by completely worthIess turd worIders thanks to the rats in power.
You guys got me tearing up at the end over here too! 🥲 great reaction! 🙌🏾 ⚡️
The pop star in the movie is an Australian/British pop star Holly Valance
*Holly Valance was also in the action film "DOA : Dead Or Alive" (2006).*
Maggie Grace who played Kimmy was on LOST for a couple seasons and this came out after it, so I knew who she was already. I think she brought what she did on LOST to this film. Such a performance. This was the first movie, I think that really had LIam Neeson as a gritty action hero. I know he was in The Phantom Menace but that's more fantasy action. He just goes on to do so many roles like this now and I'm sure people are like, really? the dude from Schindler's List?
Best part of the movie was providing fuel for Seth MacFarlane. Him doing the "I have a particular set of skills" speech as Kermit the Frog was fantastic.
After that monologue on the phone, we knew those kidnappers were as dead as the russians that shot John Wicks dog...
after Taken, you should watch the Equalizer series.
Moral: always listen to your dad.
Please keep the girlfriend reactions coming. I love these 😊
Brian was down to probably less than 48 hours. With that in mind Jean Claude's wife got off easy considering Jean Claude knew the whole time and could have told him. Men like Jean Claude don't care if you hurt them or at the very least will be able to hold out much longer before talking thus wasting more time. Brian didn't have time to mess around.
From Bourne to Taken. What a transition. Only Transporter & John Wick come close imo.
Remember that ‘Taken’ joke in ‘Deadpool’? Wade says he had a dream that he’d kidnapped Liam’s daughter and he just wasn’t havin’ it? LOL! The punchline was fantastic! “They made three of those movies. At some point you have to wonder if he’s just a bad parent.”
2 & 3 he's definitely a bad parent. In this first one he's as close to a stranger in his daugthers life as he could be without being frozen out entirely. He's not a bad parent here, the mom is. But jesus the daugther is just bereft of a brain in this one.. 16 or no (even though the actress and the one that plays her friend are well into their 20s), some common sense should be involved..
That was a pop culture joke before it was used in Deadpool. They used it in Deadpool because most people would get it and laugh at it.
Well in the second one it’s him and the ex wife that gets taken and the daughter gets them back.
Assuming the film was made the year before it was released, Maggie Grace/Kim would have been 24 years old at the time. I felt sorry for Amanda who was apparently forgotten by everyone so easily.
Yeah what do they say when they see her mom again?
I agree with this and I would have liked to have seen it fleshed out more, but I understand it probably wouldn’t have worked in the context/tone of the film.
My mom and Aunt would tell me about their class trip to Flordia and someone wanted to take a photo of them just like the scene at 9:54. Thankfully, their teachers were on top of supervision and were able to get them away from that situation. This stuff does happen.
The reason LIAM NEESON shot the guy's wife was because guy kept mentioning his family. So his wife meant more to him than his own life.
You girls should check out the movie in the next three days it's about when a man's wife is wrongly accused and arrested for murder the husband breaks her out. It stars Russell Crowe and Liam Neilson
Lots of parents have done this kind of thing, just without the skills and luck needed to pull it off. Usually they just end up spending all the money they can get and never finding their child again. It's a cruel, evil world out there. Keep them as safe as you can.
I would suggest that yo watch both of the next movies of taken, they are not repeats of what happened but progressions of the story and well worth the watch.
That movie with Jim Caviezel wasn't directed by Mel Gibson, though. He just promoted it. Some Gibson haters tried to link him to the film in an attempt to get people not to see it.
Recommendations: "Edge Of Darkness" (Mel Gibson), "The Count Of Monte Cristo" (Jim Caviezel) and "No Country For Old Men."
This movie kicked off Liam Neeson basically playing same character in action movies for many years after - always something like a retired or former special forces person
Yes but was in schindlers list 14 years earlier
*You ladies should watch Liam Neeson’s breakout role in **_Darkman_** (1990); Directed by Sam Raimi.*
The singer Bryan is protecting at the start is played by Holly Valance, an actual popsinger that dabbled in acting. Her most known hit was "Kiss Kiss" and she had another starring role in the video adaptation of Dead or Alive, the fighting game... It's not a great movie, but surprisingly star studded .P
Holy shit she's in Dead or Alive?
@ literally the starring role as Christie Allen. It’s wild they have Jamie Presley and Devon Aoki playing second fiddle to her xD
@@jarlhenrik eh,I'll take all of the insanely hot babes In that goofy movie I can get
No Country for Old Men is another intense movie y'all would love
That's one I need to watch
You should check out Man on Fire with Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning. Similar story where Denzel plays a bodyguard and goes above and beyond when young Dakota Fanning’s character is kidnapped.
2 & 3 are a bit derivative of this and obviously only made because this made good money, but I personally like them and think they're pretty good movies, especially the 2nd one that really continues this story.
Maggie and Katie are amazing casting
This movie is what every father husband, brother and boyfriend fears and knows is a real thing and can’t happen. But the majority of western women think it is men trying to control them and spoil their fun. so ladies, if you read my remark, remember when a man is concerned about something and providing boundaries think of this situation. And you’ll know he’s not trying to control you, but he absolutely loves you.
If you are up for a Liam Neeson movie based on a real historical person I recommend both "Rob Roy" & "Schindler's List".
“If I purchase these Trix there’ll be no trouble?”
40.3 million go missing every year to human trafficking. To answer your question, theses heroes do the job and sleep due to exhaustion, also if you work hard, you play hard. But at the end, when you retire, it for the most part catches up to you and get insomnia as you will see in Equalizer. I will not say more to not spoil the movie. You are human and like all heroes, you are only a hero "in the moment" afterwards you shake, shiver and, sweat like every other human. You just learn to temporarily turn it off till objective is completed and alone and in private, you cope however you can. I like how you two, despite the anxiety the movie causes you are both clear enough to ask the right questions.
I need a Taken/John Wick multiverse
they have a strong similarity one has his daughter taken the other one has his dog killed and both dont mess arround and are smart.
a team up between them would be an instant box office hit.
I highly recommend the movie Ransom with Mel Gibson, Gary Sinese, and Renee Russo. It's a very powerful movie with a different take on a similar subject as Taken.
This happens today and sadly no one comes for them. 😢
'That' speech on the phone was an instant meme. I didn't see the movie at release, but I already heard the speech so many times beforehand like Bane imitations before I saw Dark Knight Rises.
Zeithüter shirt!
Me too, I did not saw this film in theaters but in DVD release.
38:53 There's a third too.
Liam announced last week he was retiring from movies. He put out some more good action movies after this. I would recommend "A Walk Among the Tombstones" and "The Commuter".
Lost his wife 10 years ago
I know this is unrelated to the TAKEN movies but, YOU SHOULD totally watch ARCANE with the whole team "if possible". Trust me you wouldn't regret it.
If you guys enjoyed this, you need to check out Homefront
There are three Taken films, so I am looking forward to the you two of you finishing them. Nice work 👍
Every young person should watch this movie before going abroad.
But the movie is missing a part, Amanda's folks have to be told what happened to their daughter.
Taken 1 is a well done action thriller. Everything is done seriously and should be taken seriously.
The other movies are just silly action movies with poor jump cuts.
It's funny because the John Wick franchise feels like what the Taken franchise wanted to be...
Other movies? This one in particular is infamous for poor jump cuts due to Neeson's poor shape. Have you seen the jump through fence scene? It had like 20 cuts in 10 seconds .
@@HABO2210 The fence scene is in Taken 3...
@Rorujin I know. But the 1st Taken is also filled with shaky cuts. Some call it style, I call it lack of fitness
Finally the reaction I’ve been waiting for and one of the best so I can’t wait for you guys including Holden to watch all of it the borne Trilogy and the taken Trilogy and I’m really looking forward to seeing you Jen continue on playing the halo trilogy
I saw this at the theater when it came out and it was intense. I hope you 2 watch the sequels.
Liam Neeson has said whenever he meets parents who have seen this film, he tells them to allow their kids to travel and just confirm they’re safe.
He never wanted this movie to stop young people travelling.
Trafficking isn't the only dangers with travelling overseas, 2 Australian teenagers (19) travelling together in Thailand died in the last 2 weeks from drinking alcohol in a bar which was made illegally out of methanol and served in the bar, many others have also fallen ill or died as a result. So you have to be very careful everywhere, cheers
It's nice to have a reaction video with 100% sincerity as opposed to 50%. Definite upgrade.
A good movie with neeson in it that I don’t see many people talk about is called The Grey really good and another one is non-stop good suspense movies
The singer character who the teenager looks up to is an actual singer from my country (Australia) - she's Holly Valance and she released some songs here, but not sure how much overseas success she had.....?
She did us proud in this movie..... even got you guys saying she's a good actress. :)
And the award for best father ever goes to.... Bryan Mills! 👏
19:52 - In reality, bullets will go through a car door like it was tinfoil.
27:19 - "I wonder how hard you have to hit to knock someone out like that." - For what it's worth, several years ago, I fell over backwards while getting off my bike, hit my head on the sidewalk and knocked myself unconscious. I don't even remember the impact. I started falling, I thought "Oh great, I'm going to look like an idiot falling over here on the side of the road." and the next thing I knew, I was on a stretcher being loading into the back of an ambulance. I spent two days in the hospital under observation. I had a small "brain bleed" and a partially ruptured right eardrum. Luckily there was dain bramage. ;)
This is such a heavy topic that I’m very passionate about. I actually went from the US to thailand to work w/ women who’d been rescued from the sex trafficking industry. Very difficult work but also very rewarding. It’s a very dark and horrible industry that sadly exists in many countries that exploit women.
Liam has been type cast ever since this movie.
Hi does have a very particular set of skills.
I like your comments. You have something good to contribute. What I dislike is the constant comments talikng over some of the best parts of the movie. It is chaotic to hear the dialogue and both of your comments talking over it. When you edit, please select impactful moments, pause the video and give your comments.
what do you mean behind the scenes, cps(or whatever your local area calls it) is out in the open and even is backed by the state
@13:18 Marko saying “good luck” is his way of signing his own death warrant.
Hopping on the Liam Neeson train, should react to The Grey! It will have you on the edge of your seat the entire movie.
Grey Exellent
When people bitch about "toxic masculinity" (but never "toxic femininity") I point them to several things that show off what real masculinity is, this movie is one of them. I've always believed that stoicism and pugilism to were the core of masculinity and this movie demonstrates that well.
As far as how hard you have to hit someone to knock them out it depends on where you hit them, how you them, and how hard. If you hit areas like the base of the skull it doesn't take much at all.
Her comment in the beginning "I am John wick" 😂😭
Most analyst do this from training received, but gifted individuals can do this in the field. Those who are this talented and experienced are like this character in the movie, 3 to 5 moves ahead of their prey. Make no mistake those who are followed by these unique individuals feel like a mouse hunted by a hungry tiger.
This film is an example of why I don't do these big things that involves just trusting random people and, while the movie wasn't needed to tell me, why I never cared to visit outside the country.
Sadly, when this happens in real life, 99.999% of parents don't have the skills or resources to do this! As a mid-50s former small-town cop, I want to think I could be this kind of father, but, yeah.
Shooting the wife showed Jean-Claude how bad it would feel to see your loved one get hurt.
Wouldn't got info otherwise
@Time4utube That too.
*TAKEN (2008) is a French action-thriller film [ Directed by Pierre Morel and produced by Luc Besson ], which has a multinational cast. French action / thriller / horror films will mostly not disappoint.* ⬅🎬📀📺
So, technically, we're back to "My Friend watches... [film]", just with Jen as a host and her friend as the subject
One of my favorite Liam Neeson movies, and an all-around classic action thrill ride... the rest of the movies in the trilogy pale in comparison to how AMAZING this first entry is... Great movie
“ ….. so lonely at the top ….. ”
Unless u have a beagle for a companion.
The running now that you mention it. I'm here laughing to myself
Making a threat wouldn't have worked on Jean-Claude. He was a seasoned agent. Shooting the wife showed him that Brian meant business.
Krav Maga is the fighting style done in this movie it was adopted for the Israeli defense forces.
I grew up watching the James Bond movies and, while I enjoyed them as a whole, I could never get past how unrealistic they were. Taken was the first movie I've seen that took a realistic approach to how someone who is trained at that high of a level would fight. There are no scenes where he shoots a hundred times and hits his enemy once, 10 minute long hand to hand fights, etc. Just brutal takedowns in a matter of seconds. That's exactly how someone with that amount of training would do it unless they were up against someone of equal training. It happens that fast in real life. Liam Neeson did a phenomenal job in both the physicality and the drama of the role. I hope you both check out the sequels Taken 2 and Taken 3.
There is NOTHING, and I mean absolutely NOTHING realistic about any of this lmao this is an old man who would get stomped out in the first fight 😭😭😭
Her friend played Black Canary in Arrow. Forgot her name.
"I had another Liam Neeson nightmare. I kidnapped his daughter and he just wasn't having it.
They made **** of those movies. At some point you have to wonder if he's just a bad parent."
yeah just gone ahead and watch all three
now you guys need to watch taken 2 and taken 3
Love this movie but yeah scary if you’re just a regular parent the kid is gone
no more reading the movie summaries before watching!! haha great video!!!
I agree
I think my favorite thing about this series is that Liam Neeson agreed to do Taken 3 only under the agreement that nobody get taken 😂
Shock factor so much more excentuated with plugging the wife ... I luvd that scene
Liam would make the ultimate student loan officer. Imagine getting a phone call from him about your delinquent payments😋
I totally forgot Holly Valance was in this movie
Maggie grace was 25 during filming
React to “The Town” by Ben Affleck
And this series just gets darker😭
Remember back then when you watch Batman Bad Blood the movie and you had issue with Batwoman and batwing names relaying too much to Batman and they didn’t really stand out well Spider-Man is no different Golden Spongecake Spider-Man
Spider-Girl (Penelope Parker)
Spider-Monkey
Pete Spiderman
Lady Spider
Spider-Man Noir
Please share your thoughts and opinions on this discovery. Love you guys and this channel.
This is a great trilogy:)
I'm a huge Famke fan but her character in this movie was a real see you next Tuesday
Loved your reaction, please say you'll watch 2 & 3 soon.....
Maggie Grace was outstanding in the entire franchise, Maggie was actually 25 in first Taken.
Spoiler.
She deserved to take over from Liam. Which was planned for Taken 4 with Liam as supporting but T4 fell through.
As an irishman can confirm Liam Neeson is a gentleman this movie is important
Liam can handle himself grew up in Country where bombing and killing was regular in ireland in 60s 70s 80s
If you like these type of movies, You'll love Rambo Last Blood too, but for that you'd have to cover the entire Rambo series.
18:27 Then you would have loved me in high school, Jen. If I hadn't been able to convince the disciplinary faculty that I didn't comprehend the policy on wearing...band T-shirts (whereas all that would have been necessary to expose the whole thing was for them to have asked anybody about my academic record), I would have been expelled long before graduation.
😂😂 Jens reaction to Amanda saying, "I'm gonna sleep with him" said: "I call slut" 😅
