Taken is a film with a raw, handheld aesthetic. The 720p resolution perfectly captures the "European noir" feel of Paris’s underground without over-polishing the intentional grain of the cinematography.
When hit theaters in 2008, it didn't just become a box office hit; it birthed a new sub-genre of action cinema and transformed Liam Neeson into the ultimate "elder statesman" of justice. For many fans, finding the perfect version of this film—specifically the Taken 2008 dual audio 720p format—is the gold standard for revisiting the high-stakes rescue of Kim Mills.
Pierre Morel’s direction and Luc Besson’s screenplay created a lean, mean 90-minute machine. There is no "fat" on this movie. Every scene serves the purpose of getting Bryan Mills one step closer to his goal.
