One of the hardest duties of a parent is to teach their child that the world is full of predators, and how not to become prey, without ruining their chances at happiness.
My father has a friend. Her son was kidnapped and the police couldt find him. 2-3 years later the boy's aunt went to Thailand. On that trip, a boy tap on her back, it was her nephew. He couldn't speak because they cut his tongue. The aunt tried to save him but 3 men came out of nowhere and snatched him. He was never seen again. The aunt never told the boy's mother about it because she doesn't want her to get depressed. Really sad though. To this day I always wonder what happened to him, like is he still alive.
For some reason, in the scene when he tracks down Mr. Good Luck, I always thought it would've been better if he told him, "You don't remember my voice, but I remember yours. I told you I would find you." I don't know why I think that every time I see that scene. Damn you, writing classes... haha
Great movie. Other great movies like that are Equalizer with Denzel Washington and the first Bourne Identity movie. Other great Liam Nisson movies are Rob Roy 1995 and Darkman 1990 which is an original superhero movie Sam Ramie made before he got the rights to do the Spiderman movies. Another great movie like this is the first Jack Reacher (Which has a great Amazon series named Reacher)
Totally agree about Rob Roy, Bourne Identity and Jack Reacher. Three of the better action/thrillers I’ve seen. And I absolutely adore Denzel but somehow that one didn’t click for me.
LOL, I clicked thumbs up as soon as I saw your title. I *knew* you'd get hit like a bomb exploding. I'm typing this after watching, and am still getting chills. Such great reactions from you! Really superlative action movie, ditto your vid. The scene of him on the phone was the main trailer when it came out, and it just grabbed you by the nape of the neck and shook. As soon as the bad guy said, "Good luck", you knew he was dead - and had to see for yourself. Such a fun movie!
This was a 1A reaction, because every scene of the movie is immediately enjoyed ten times more than usual when the reactor exudes such a strong sense of justice.
This woman wouldn't get into a cab with him, but I also wouldn't get in a cab with any stranger (other than the driver). I'm pretty paranoid, though, and the few times I've taken Ubers I've been on red alert the entire ride, ensured there were working door handles on the inside before getting in, and let people know I was going to be in said Uber (with phone in hand at all times). The one time I arranged for an Uber for just myself, I had it drop me off down the street from where I live, waited for the car to leave, ensured it wasn't still there and watching, and then went to my place. So, I watch this movie and yell, "Stupid, stupid girl" all throughout the beginning because my paranoid self could never.
Gotta see Taken 2, Equalizer, Equalizer 2 next. Liam rejoined the acting world with this franchise after taking hiatus to mourn his wife's passing. He resurrected himself as an action hero in the best way. Also check out Olympus has Fallen, London has Fallen and Angel has Fallen aka the Mike Banning series with Gerard Butler which is amazing!
@29:50 it has to be in a life or death situation hand combat you have to end the fight as quickly and as brutally as possible. And in dealing with multiple people I was always taught the first person you get your hands on you finish that person as quickly in his brutally as possible that way everybody else that is in the proximity that can see it can see what they're getting into and the hesitation on their part will give you the opening to keep moving through the group. And the most obvious statement of all use every in any weapon at your disposal in a life and death situation there is no such thing as a fair fight there is no such thing as rules or code of conduct the Only Rule is simply to survive and make the other person no longer capable of fighting.
I am not a fighter but I know a couple of people who are (one trains police). That one said a real fight, if you can't run, usually only lasts at most a couple of minutes. The quickness of the fights is to my mind, accurate
An interesting fact is that this film was Directed by a former Stunt Performer, a trend that's kicked off more and more (the biggest being the John Wick Directors). The first film Directed by Taken's Director was a kickass action flick called "District B-13", which I strongly recommend as well. It's also from the same Writer/Producer as Taken!
I’m going to watch this one, again, it’s been a while. Movies definitely take your mind off of things you go through, on the daily. Kabir, it was fun watching a great movie with you! 💯
I remember seeing the snippet of Liam Nisson on the phone talking to the kidnappers. This made me want to see this movie, then, when I finally saw it . . . I knew that I already saw this film via Family Guy. Family Guy did a spoof of the film. All I can say is, "Dakkar Noir!" 😸
Shooting the guys wife is a perfect example of how protective you are as a parent; absolutely zero fucks given to the trail of blood you leave behind in order to save your child.
I'm sorry I thought I was done. @ 33:48 they never actually mention Brians background in the movie. I mean it os easy to assume Special Forces right from the get go. But just remember you are never really told anything specifically about his past. Which is the one thing that I really love about the character is because you are never really told anything specific it gives the viewer the chance to input their own background and basically make Brian Mills character your own because you get to Envision exactly what his background was and what it was that he did that gave him those very particular set of skills over years of service.
Don’t get me wrong kabir ! I know your British but in America 🇺🇸 the phrase is called sign me up not sign me in!! I’m just giving you help on American phrases to help you out like I said no disrespect I love your channel!!!
Great reaction!! Taken is a great movie! The first time I saw this movie and when the daughter gets pulled out from under the bed, made my heart stop. As a parent, this would be terrible!! Another great movie you need to watch is "Eye For An Eye" with Sally Field and Kiefer Sutherland.
It's a story we've seen a thousand times before BUT Liam Neeson raises the feel-good factor here and somehow makes the plot seem fresh. A brilliant movie!
8:09 It's strange to me things I did when young. I was stationed in Germany when in the US Army I traveled throughout Europe by myself. No one ever accosted me. I walked around solitary streets at night. I spent a few hours sitting at a fountain in Sicily just watching people scurrying about on their scooters.
great movie and reaction sire. I like that it's not over-the-top Matrix style. As its a middle-aged man with a realistic or close to realistic fighting style and anger he had in retrieving his daughter at all costs.
Liam Neison isn't someone you think of when you think action star. Especially fighting action star. But he nails it. Every time. Please react to 2 and 3 as they were just as good.
I find him pretty credible! Hulking, broad-shouldered, 6 foot 4, used to be a boxer. Grew up in a rough area of Northern Ireland during "the Troubles"... He can exude menace when he wants to 😲
@32:45 all joking aside each and every one of them are great for freaking movies man if you really enjoyed this one please watch the others as soon as possible I need to see your reaction to those as well. Thank you.
If you like movies like this I have to introduce you to a classic called A Time to Kill with Samuel L Jackson and Matthew McConaughey and that is a fantastic movie and that's based off of a true story or true life events
Thanks for a great reaction! Personally i would never take a taxi with likes of him. But this is a sad reality of human trafficking, people taking sick advantage of kindness and being naive and trusting too much.
Liam signed on to learn karate in Paris but he became famous for this quote .. Bryan Mills: [talking to Marko on the phone] I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you. Marko: [after a long pause] Good luck. [hangs up his end of the phone]
OK I have to say when you said at the end of the movie “why is Kim running like that?” It straight up made me crack up just because in the TV show LOST her character Shannon runs weird too and it became a running joke (pun intended) in the series.
@@kabirconsiders It definitely works! HUGE American movie lover. If you need any suggestions for American "cult classics" movies just ask, brother. Peace my friend!
This has always been a favorite. Thanks for reacting to it. The "Transporter" films (1,2 and 3) are similar in action and pace with Jason Stratham.

Yeah, when I first saw this, it surprised me. I love action movies. This series and the Transporter have great action scenes. You ought to react to Transporter 2.
My son-in-law is in the music business. It is horrendous. He is doing remarkably well but there is little to no money in it unless you are right at the top. The musicians you see in clubs are either just getting the tips or being paid very little.
Jabba the hut, lmao at you. You have a wicked sense of humor 🤣. I have this movie but have never watched it but I will now. Also have the Green Mile that I have watched several times. Both awesome movies.
Loving seeing you do more movie reactions. Please keep them coming!! You’re one of the best out there. Your views and respect for movies are top notch. I’d say 90% of the time you guess the plot correctly. Love this content. Also don’t really bother with Taken 2 & 3 lol
NEXT OF KIN is a good movie for you to watch about some kentucky hillbillies hunting the streets of chicago to find the man who killed their young brother starring Helen Hunt Patrick Swayze Liam Neeson
Loved your reaction to this. Might I recommend "The Game" from 1997? I didn't see it on your channel. It is definitely a thriller . Mind you, I haven't seen it in a very long time.
While I agree he is a good actor, he is also a Hollywood hypocrite! He is anti-gun, but makes millions off using a gun in movies. Just like the politicians that are anti-gun, but are surrounded by armed guards. People like that make me sick.
The “I possess a certain type of skills” line and how he will find and kill him is one the most popular and famous lines in movies
One of the hardest duties of a parent is to teach their child that the world is full of predators, and how not to become prey, without ruining their chances at happiness.
Sadly this is 100% how trafficking is. Sick sick people, most of them 1% ers. Great reaction!👏👏👏👏

Definite thumbs up to Equalizer which is a way better version of John Wick in regards to story and acting.

This trilogy is awesome. Liam is a great actor and these movies are awesome. Glad you watched this.
He's pretty much played the same character ever since this movie came out

@@marvinlawrence Yeah. This could've been/ should've been a stand alone film.
@@kabirconsiders another good one like this is Man on Fire with Denzel Washington.
Another movie that's older with a similar plot is Deathwish with Charles Bronson. It spawned 5 or 6 sequels but the original is awesome.
That scene with the fence still gives me nightmares 35 years later and triggers me every time I see a fence like that.
The 2nd and partly the 3rd is also good ," Wildey's here " . But the 1st is one of the very best .
The line "They're going to take you." CHILLS EVERY TIME
Liam Nisson's best movie role is Schindler's List.
The mother thought she knew everything. *She didn't.*
*”Oh!!”*
You say that like an East Coast Italian haha!
Watching your reaction to one of my fav movies . 🥰
Lenore was played by Famke Janssen, former Bond Girl (GoldenEye). And this is easily the best of the set, caught lightning in a bottle.
And The X-men series 😃

Another great reaction Kabir!
I think Schindler's List was one of his best movies. Taken 2 & Taken 3 are pretty good too.
Schindler's List would I think be on the list of any actor's best movies
Kabir, your Jabba the Hut line was epic.
Great reaction. So glad you loved this.
Neeson was a great dramatic actor (Schindler's List, etc.) then Taken series, then Nonstop, and - suddenly - he's an action star!!! Multitalented!

Love your reactions ❤️✌️🌹
All the Taken movies are great. You should watch the others also. Liam is an amazing actor.
The second and third movie isn’t about his daughter getting taken but it’s interesting because she has way more screen time in those two movies
Shooting the guys wife is a perfect example of how protective you are as a parent; absolutely zero fucks given to the trail of blood you leave behind in order to save your child.
Who can forget these words, "I have a very particular set of skills," having heard Liam Neeson say them once.
Kabir: "Overprotective dad."
