Oh Shit - Badass Poster for Liam Neeson's Taken!

by Alex Billington
November 25, 2008

Rarely do we see an "oh shit!" moment from a trailer actually captured well enough on a poster to also elicit the same "oh shit!" reaction. But indeed, here is that exact example, prominently featured on a poster for Taken. You may all remember this French film from numerous trailers we've featured throughout the year. Unfortunately Fox decided to push the release date of Taken all the way to January 30th. So if you're wondering why you haven't seen this movie yet, there's your answer. And to top it all off, we're serving up a badass poster that will only make you more anxious to see Taken. It will be in theaters soon...

Taken Poster

Taken is directed by French filmmaker Pierre Morel, who directed District B13 previously and is a long-time cinematographer. The film is co-written by Robert Mark Kamen (Kiss of the Dragon, The Transporter) and Luc Besson (The Professional, La Femme Nikita, Fifth Element), the duo responsible for the Transporter series. Fox will finally be releasing Taken in theaters on January 30th, 2009.

Why on earth did they move it to late January? It has already been too long of a wait!!

its a good movie, released pretty much everywhere else in the world except north america. I saw it a few weeks ago, and while it's certainly not high art and there are a few noticeable plot holes, it's a highly entertaining action flick. Good to see liam kicking some ass.

The movie was great but of course there were some cons in it as well, that could've been fixed to make this movie superb, • Famke Jansen was not needed in this movie, she's a great actress and all but her face time in this movie was extremely short, should've used someone who was new to the acting scene. • The movie was short, they rushed the story, this movie deserved to be atleast 2 hours long, towards the end I actually wanted to see more. • I fucking hated the daughter and her friend, no way in hell did they look 16, annoying pricks. • Why hire Holly Valance when you can hire A REAL SINGER? Apart from that, Liam Neeson's acting was beyond superb in this movie.

Watched this on DVD just last night and was very impressed. Fast pace, no let up, many high octane fight scenes only one of which I found to be slightly unreasonable for Neeson. Brutal, clinical and real. dont diss Holly Valance. Magie Grace unfortunately just didn't seem to work, after seeing her in Lost, I simply couldn't take her as this young. Yes, short film, but that gives it pace and a real sense of urgency.

It was awesome but needed more Famke

I loved this film and all it's racist overtones. A good anti-holday in Europe film if I ever saw one. Whilst satisfying in its non-stop sadism and violence, it must be seen as a ridiculous film and throwaway and not to be taken seriously, it's almost comedic in it's over the top stereotypes.
Jorge Leiner

Let me tell ya, for some fortunate circumstances, I already saw the movie and it's excellent! Think of it as if Jason Bourne is now fifty-something, his daughter is abducted and he must go to Europe in a "roaring rampage" to save her. The result is pretty obvious, and pretty cool! A must see film!

I saw Taken back in March and it was amazing...I can't wait for From Paris With Love...Taken is heading to my DVD collection
TBone

This movie is freaking sweet! Now, lets get the rights to make a movie that involves Liam Nelson's character called in to take on (as in fighting against) Bourne. Lots of badass hand to hand fight scenes and some awesome car chases, and throw in Olga (the new bond chick)....lets get it on!!!!!

I wonder why Fox has run this movie so backwards. Everyone in this forum has already seen it and it hasn't even been released yet. Had this been released on a normal schedule this movie would have been huge, but most of us have either seen it online or someplace else. This movie is probably going to come out to mediocre reviews and fade away without much fanfare at the box office, only to have a strong cult following of film buffs. Because as everyone stated this is a great action flick. I loved every second of it. It's a brutal.

Got it on dvd already. Its really good...

this film is so bad even empire gave it 1 star
Conrad

I've seen the movie already - it was all right. More of just an action movie with some crazy beat downs by Liam Neeson. Overall as a movie it was pretty mediocre. Cool poster though...

I don't like the poster. It is very hard to read.
