The action in this movie is fun, but Liam Neeson's performance really gets you so emotionally invested that every time he takes out a bad guy, it's eve more satisfying.
Indeed. When he was filming it, he was worried that some of the lines might be too hokey, and asked whether they should be changed, but they kept them the same and he worked hard to bring it to life. In the end his performance made you feel this story so strongly and it was a huge success.
I was crying with Stephanie at the end. When Kim said, "Daddy, you came for me," I started, but when she started sobbing, I couldn't hold it in. Tissue time. By the way, it's a lot nicer to hear your comments now, the way you have your mics set up. When speaking at a normal level, no echo, which is great because I like you two. :)
I've seen this a million times, and I still bawl at that part, too. I immediately think about the millions of trafficked out there that have no hope of anyone coming for them.😪
This movie started off a little slow but once it got going, it didn't stop until the very end, one of Liam's best movies for sure. I never saw part 2 or 3, as I figured nothing was ever going to top this first effort, but maybe one day I'll give them a go.
My opinion on that is they aren't that great. Just cheesy repetitiveness too cash in on. The story and the way it ended left no openings to continue. How they got around that is ridiculous but that's obviously just me. This one will stay awesome forever. I can feel the haters coming already
2 wasn't too bad. The action scenes were decent, although you could tell Liam is getting older. Part 3 sucked. To me, it acted as if 2 never happened, and they changed the actor who plays Stewart. You could pretend the final movie never happened.
Stephanie's tears were beautiful & so genuine. I'm really enjoying her reactions. Devin, you're just like me - every time there is a fight scene, where someone is kicking ass I go off and love it also. Thanks y'all! 🩷
I cry at that part too but its because i think of all of the ones out there who have no hope of anyone coming for them. I really dont think people realize how accurate all of the situations are in this. The human trafficking is taking over the drug trade because you can sell people multiple times a day. They even have doctors to sew and patch the victim up so they can heal and do it all over again. Its happening everywhere around us and no one knows or no one wants to know.
I would never say this to a parent who is going through this. But I'd be thinking it. This is your fault. You badgered Bryan into agreeing to let kim go to France. Bryan told you this could happen. You just brushed him and his feelings off. Literally calling him paranoid.
Yeah, honestly, I felt the exact same way. She thought he was exaggerating or smothering her when he was absolutely right. She was way too young to be traveling alone.
I never understood why she did this in the beginning. She left him because his job was dangerous (she knew what he did, and his constant absence made her want to leave). So when he tells her it's possibly dangerous for their child, she just thinks he doesn't know what he's talking about?? Maybe she got too comfortable from being with her new husband, idk. It just irked me. You use the excuse of leaving for your child's safety and then throw said child to the wolves.
😤 Indeed! I was so glad Bryan called her out on her bull shit logic that just because Kim and Amanda are staying in the "best hotels" doesn't mean they're gonna be safe. Like seriously, what the hell were they thinking? I saw this when I was eighteen, and even I knew how stupid it was for them to be traveling by themselves. It pissed me off how Lenny was quick to guilt trip and talk down to Bryan as if he's beneath her 😒🙄
A teenage girl hiding under the bed from someone dangerous and evil under bed while on her phone with someone trying to help her made me think of "The Call" (2013) starring Halle Berry. It would be interesting to see you react to that movie.
Thanks to this movie, many fathers like me can show our daughters what we would do in the "What if"" situation. Just make sure the boyfriend watches this movie.
Hey guys I just wanna say the work you're putting in is definitely evident. Better camera, mic quality, editing, and movie encoding. Yall gonna go far 🔥🔥
I’ve watched about 10 reactions to this movie with couples. Women are very, very engaged in this film and often brought to tears . Dudes feel it too but more with anger. I like that we’re different. Nowadays people don’t like it so much.
18:30 Now that I'm older and have had to do a fair amount of home repairs, I realize that ledges like that were made for decoration, not for supporting the weight of full grown man.
You did that in Europe or US? Because that there (at 11:30 btw) is a atrium, those metal profiles are protecting the protruding bricks they rest on. Those protuding bricks are exactly there to stand on .. or better said to have boards laid across the atrium to be able to access the walls for paintjobs and other repairs, because the atriums are typically to narrow (back in the day when buildings were built like that) to erect scaffolding.
I wouldve been on board woth the whole follow a rock band tour thing if it was anyone other than U2. Teenage girls dont usually listeb to U2 let alone want to follow the bands tour
Literally, their fan group is older and her mom is okay with that? Like one direction or Justin Bieber would’ve been just a sea of girls just like them, that most likely would’ve formed friendships with some and then just became part of a group. Still potentially dangerous of course but way better from a logical standpoint for a parent
Ohh, another great movie from my recommendations :D I couldn't be more happy that I've found you, seeing that you're into much of the same stuff I enjoy as well.
The unrated version is better. During the torture scene, Brian stabs Marco in the kneecaps with 12 nails and hooks the battery cables to the nails stuck in his bones. So amazingly brutal. "I need you to focus!" Lol.
Deserved to be bitter? She knew what she was getting into - there is this thing in the vows, "...for better or worse..." - but she decided to have a child with him and could not even make it five years before she decided to dump him, take their daughter and get herself a rich man on Easy Street. Years later, she continues to belittle the father at every turn. Call me crazy, but I don't think she was the one who "deserved" to be bitter. [edited b/c autocorrect is a #@!%$]
Ok I see that point too! I guess I was coming from it solely from a mom’s perspective and the father not being present in the daughter’s life until later in life. You’re right though, if that is what she signed up for it should be for better or worse.
33:15 Classic, wait for the person to speak (i.e brain is focusing on something else). Take the shot. People have a hard time multitasking, leave that to computers ;)
Always luv your reaction guys! Got a couple classics I know you would luv "Brubaker" and "Burning Mississippi" You wont be disapointed. Thanks again keep up the great work!
I’ve always thought that same thing, what if the daughter sucks at signing lmao. But y’all are right even if she did her dad gave her the chance of a lifetime
Nesson spent 10 years trying to comvince Hollywood he could play a lead Action star! They couldn't see it him being a big gawky Irish Hollywood nobody! Oh boy, were the studios wrong! 😂
"What if she sucks?" Good question. But wouldn't it be best to know that sooner, rather than later. The singer brought her vocal coach. Hopefully, he's going to be honest.
Luc Besson movies should be watched! All 3 Transporter, la Femme Nikkita, first, followed by the Professional, fifth element, Jupiter rising, and others!!
I guess everyone noticed that the 19 year old was more immature than the 17 year old. Yes, they do now appreciate his skills. That is obvious in parts 2 and 3, especially part 3.
Training Day is excellent but if you plan on watching Man on Fire you should watch the original starring Scott Glenn first (they are both great). Glenn also played Roger in Training Day.
I LOVE this movie. Did not like the second one, the third one was actually decent and I don’t mind watching it from time to time!! So would definitely recommend Taken 3!
If you want to see another film where Liam Neeson does not suck, it would be Rob Roy. A movie made the same year as Braveheart and it is about another Scottish folk hero, Robert Roy McGregor, played by the non-sucky Liam Neeson. Also Tim Roth does not suck as one the main antagonists, Archibald Cunninham. Brian Cox does not suck at playing the partner in crime. Eric Stoltz does not suck at playing the number one trusted clansman of Robert McGregor. Jessica Lang does not suck at playing the wife of our man Rob. John Hurt also doesn't suck at playing a Scottish nobleman.
I like your channel and content, but you gotta work on your editing. The cuts and jumps are so choppy that it's very difficult to follow the story which takes away from the reaction. I've watched a lot of Taken reactions, and the amount of stuff cut out of this one is wild. If I hadn't seen the movie before, I'd be a little confused.
in the directors cut he dosent attach the car leads to the chair. he stabs long nails into hius legs and attaches the leads to the nails going into his thighs.
32:00 He only kills if he needs to. Quick move on. His mission is his daughter. Also, he knows most of these guys are hired mercs, they prolly don't even know background. Protection is their job.
I know this has been said to death but it def applies to this movie:
"In a profession where men die young, FEAR the old man"!
The action in this movie is fun, but Liam Neeson's performance really gets you so emotionally invested that every time he takes out a bad guy, it's eve more satisfying.
Indeed. When he was filming it, he was worried that some of the lines might be too hokey, and asked whether they should be changed, but they kept them the same and he worked hard to bring it to life. In the end his performance made you feel this story so strongly and it was a huge success.
As daddy's girl, of course I cried...twice. I felt for the girl who was soo lucky from the construction site & especially his daughter was found.
I was crying with Stephanie at the end. When Kim said, "Daddy, you came for me," I started, but when she started sobbing, I couldn't hold it in. Tissue time. By the way, it's a lot nicer to hear your comments now, the way you have your mics set up. When speaking at a normal level, no echo, which is great because I like you two. :)
I've seen this a million times, and I still bawl at that part, too. I immediately think about the millions of trafficked out there that have no hope of anyone coming for them.😪
Love how the mum looks down on him, until she needs him
He played in Next of Kin with Patrick Swayze. He was the big brother to Patrick's character. Briar
Liam neeson is everything
Completely agree!!
The side eyes Devin gave in this one. 😂😂 Totally with you my man
🤣🤣
The movie of the famous memes! And an exciting movie to boot. Liam made several likewise movies and it's easy to see why. He does it so well.
This movie started off a little slow but once it got going, it didn't stop until the very end, one of Liam's best movies for sure. I never saw part 2 or 3, as I figured nothing was ever going to top this first effort, but maybe one day I'll give them a go.
They're great! Watch them when you can :)
My opinion on that is they aren't that great. Just cheesy repetitiveness too cash in on. The story and the way it ended left no openings to continue. How they got around that is ridiculous but that's obviously just me. This one will stay awesome forever. I can feel the haters coming already
@@stanzaloan3454I agree. The sequels were rediculous.
Part 2 is very similar and part 3 is basically The Fugitive (same generic plot)
2 wasn't too bad. The action scenes were decent, although you could tell Liam is getting older. Part 3 sucked. To me, it acted as if 2 never happened, and they changed the actor who plays Stewart. You could pretend the final movie never happened.
Devins face during liams 'I will find you' speech! 😂 😂
Stephanie's tears were beautiful & so genuine. I'm really enjoying her reactions. Devin, you're just like me - every time there is a fight scene, where someone is kicking ass I go off and love it also. Thanks y'all! 🩷
He is not a typical action star but damn he did this well
I cry at that part too but its because i think of all of the ones out there who have no hope of anyone coming for them. I really dont think people realize how accurate all of the situations are in this. The human trafficking is taking over the drug trade because you can sell people multiple times a day. They even have doctors to sew and patch the victim up so they can heal and do it all over again. Its happening everywhere around us and no one knows or no one wants to know.
Yes absolutely, that is extremely heartbreaking
Its why the release of a certain list is so important.
I would never say this to a parent who is going through this. But I'd be thinking it. This is your fault. You badgered Bryan into agreeing to let kim go to France. Bryan told you this could happen. You just brushed him and his feelings off. Literally calling him paranoid.
Right. Just another rich person out of touch with the world. Everything is fine with her rose colored glasses. Smh.
Yeah, honestly, I felt the exact same way. She thought he was exaggerating or smothering her when he was absolutely right. She was way too young to be traveling alone.
I never understood why she did this in the beginning. She left him because his job was dangerous (she knew what he did, and his constant absence made her want to leave).

6:53 "she a hoe" lmao i was weeeeeeeeeak from that and then the look at 7:27 🤣 priceless
I hate when he’s right!! 🤣🤣
Thanks to this movie, many fathers like me can show our daughters what we would do in the "What if"" situation. Just make sure the boyfriend watches this movie.
Don't mess with someone who has lived through The Troubles first hand
Hey guys I just wanna say the work you're putting in is definitely evident. Better camera, mic quality, editing, and movie encoding. Yall gonna go far 🔥🔥
Thank you!! Much appreciated! We sure hope so!
What happened to Amanda was definitely tragic, but dear GOD, she was stupid.
24:07 ROFL, you said that perfectly...
I’ve watched about 10 reactions to this movie with couples. Women are very, very engaged in this film and often brought to tears . Dudes feel it too but more with anger. I like that we’re different. Nowadays people don’t like it so much.
One of the best action films !! Loved your guys reactions ❤
Thank you!!
Break his ass down...love it :)

Great reaction guys and what makes this movie so disturbing is this stuff really happens to innocent people.
The most unbelievable thing about this movie is that two teenagers in 2008 are actually following U2 all over Europe. I mean, U2? Seriously?
🤣🤣🤣 so true!!
EXACTLY what I was thinking lmao. Back then 17 year old girls were all about that Justin Bieber/One Direction type bullshit 🤣
Literally, their fan group is older and her mom is okay with that?
Like one direction or Justin Bieber would’ve been just a sea of girls just like them, that most likely would’ve formed friendships with some and then just became part of a group.

Right? I was thinking "Did I remember this scene wrong or something?"
Havent watched you in awhile brotha! But almost didn’t recognize u without the beard!!
I love your reactions. " hit him in the throat"!

You just hate Famke Jannsen's character 'Lenore' but she nailed the part playing the passive-aggressive, bitter, mega beeotch ex-wife.
She really did!!
Every loving dad's fear
Now you guys gotta watch the sequel- *Batman Begins.*
"The Sound of Freedom."
the ending joke 👌🏾😂
33:15 Classic, wait for the person to speak (i.e brain is focusing on something else). Take the shot. People have a hard time multitasking, leave that to computers ;)
Devons face looks like a new born baby omg I cant! 😂😂😂
I love this movie and i love this channel you guys rock
You rock! Thank you!!!
@@snackandreact would love you to do more horror, maybe identity
Now you need to see the REAL taken! Watch " Sound of Freedom"!
Yes, we do need to watch that.
Y'all need to watch him in Rob Roy.
Always luv your reaction guys! Got a couple classics I know you would luv "Brubaker" and "Burning Mississippi" You wont be disapointed. Thanks again keep up the great work!
the unrated version when he is torturing Marco he put nails into his legs... so much more violent and terrifying!
He shaved the beard and mustache looks good
Bro should be a comedian😂😂😂😂
Aye Brian Mills was not playing about his daughter period! Call the coroner cuz they gone need a few of them to do extra overtime!
Taken 1 2 3 4 all great movies 🎥 👍 Love them all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ♥ ❤ 💕 💖 💗 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
First there was Brian. Then there was John Wick. Then there was 'Nobody.'
If she sucks, better to know early. Good reaction!
Love this movie. Love Liam Nealson💖. Thanks guys💖🌹.
Nealson? You can't love him that much lol
I see 123 very good 👍 move and the 4 move is good too
Seen this movie and this is all the mother's fault she made her daughter listen to the dad's rules this wouldn't be happening
Straight 'Tooken' starring the incomparable Liam Neesons. - Key & Peele's 'Valets'
I’ve always thought that same thing, what if the daughter sucks at signing lmao. But y’all are right even if she did her dad gave her the chance of a lifetime
Like most those singers aren't using autotune 😂
Nesson spent 10 years trying to comvince Hollywood he could play a lead Action star! They couldn't see it him being a big gawky Irish Hollywood nobody! Oh boy, were the studios wrong! 😂
You guys should check out Unknown (2011) with Liam Neeson !! A very good action thriller ❤
This movie is so good! 😍
Can't wait to see ya both on the next one
Now you need to watch "Taken 2: Electric Boogaloo" :)
Heck yeah! Taken on Ice too.
I Wish he would have brought in his Team.I Get it a Dad on a solo mission
Loved this
You're a beautiful couple. Keep it up!
Wow they took out the part where he put 60d nails in the kiddnappers leg and hooked the clips into the nail not the chair.
That's the unrated version.
Love watching you guys reactions 🙏
Great reaction. I would love to see both of your reactions to 'The Full Monty'. I think you would really like it 😊
"What if she sucks?" Good question. But wouldn't it be best to know that sooner, rather than later. The singer brought her vocal coach. Hopefully, he's going to be honest.

Has Stephanie seen "Man On Fire" or "Training Day"? Two amazing Denzel movies.
Training Day is excellent but if you plan on watching Man on Fire you should watch the original starring Scott Glenn first (they are both great). Glenn also played Roger in Training Day.
I LOVE this movie. Did not like the second one, the third one was actually decent and I don’t mind watching it from time to time!! So would definitely recommend Taken 3!
You should check Liam Nieson out in “The A-Team” it’s a fun ride
Liam Neeson,,,, what's so hard about that?
When he says you have a 90 something window to never finding her, the wife cries but he channels it into anger.
Bro you look jacked as fuck. Leave the weights alone for the rest of us 🤣🤣 great channel guys liked and subbed 👍
6:51 😆
He was right! 🤣🤣
Who is this guy?! He looks like he could knock Tyson out with one punch!!
I love the channel you guys but now you have to do taken 2 and 3
Dude.... Where did your beard go? I kind of feel unnerved seen you without one. Either way great review!
🤣🤣🤣
Good movie
BRO its pronounced LIAM NEESON sounds like "LEE-AM" "KNEE-SON"
Greetings 👋🏻 from Munich, I do like them vid's tho
Hi!!
07:01 😄
Dude should make some workout videos he looks great
You think he would!!
To think that Neeson didn't even want to do the line "A particular set of skills" because he thought that it would end up sounding corny!
Crazy!!
He said what if she sucks 😂
Do the movie Faster ,awesome!
Kindly react to rocky handsome full movie with eng sub and get stunned it has the best action scene in bollywood

Wtf his beard gone😮 looks like a whole new person that’s crazy
Completely!! Took me a while to get used to his new face!! 🤣
The movie shaft, Samuel L Jackson is a really good movie about racism and money
Wow. I just wanna comment on how healthy your skin looks. Seamoss in your diet now?? Looks like it. Congratulations
No seamoss but appreciate it!
Neeson shocked the hell outta me & my son. But the daughter's running sucks. I just had to say it. 😅
🤣🤣

I like how the pickup guy ladies to attract and socialize many girls. But, too bad he usefor the bad things.
