Why can he not turn to the police for help? How is the perceived time constraint he is told he probably only has 96 hours to find his daughter used to motivate his actions?

The scenes with prostitutes are chilling. And there is a lot of violence. I am a little squeamish and looked away once or twice.

It contains sex slavery and drug use a vigilantism as major themes, no explicit moral judgement is given on vigilantism, the other two are condenmed. Overall a great movie, watch it at you own discretion. A Bit Disturbing This movie was pretty decent. The whole story was a father trying to save his daughter from prostitute-sellers. There was violence, because the father was a government worker taking down fiendish gangsters.

Swearing is present, again there are criminals. Sexuality revolves around the human trafficking, advertising and other things. There was no specific message, but here's what I've learned: Never lie to your parents, never travel alone especially if you are a minor , never trust strangers, and ALWAYS be cautious.

Nevertheless, this movie wasn't bad. Teen, 13 years old Written by cesuraal July 10, Taken is an Action Movie Masterpiece! Although quite disturbing this is a solid action movie but it shouldn't have a PG rating. Nevertheless people should know what the story is about. The violence was very well put together. I don't understand the so-called "expert reviewer's" perspective. Perhaps he or she doesn't know a good action move when they see one.

One of my favorite action movies ever. Teen, 14 years old Written by DoomReviews June 26, Teen, 13 years old Written by tomatoking June 21, Very good movie This title contains: Positive Messages. Teen, 13 years old Written by Taylor17 April 24, Great movie I watched this movie when I was I think all teens need to watch it because it can be an eye opening experience because people do get taken, and awful things are done to them. And yes, I know that some of you might want to keep your kids in a bubble their entire lives, but this is the real world.

This is what happens. Skip to Content. Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis.

You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update. A father becomes a vigilante to save his endangered daughter. A young woman and her friend disregard common sense in search of a good time abroad. Vigilantism and revenge seem justified. Brian's only redeeming quality is his absolute love for his daughter. This positive aspect of his character is ultimately diluted by the violent means he takes to save her.

Although there's little blood, the violence is relentless for the majority of the movie, and there's a high body count overall. People are tortured, killed, and attacked with guns, knives, explosives, cars, and other weapons belts, fire extinguishers, you name it. A character is willing to shoot innocent people if it will extract valuable information.

Young women are depicted as pawns in a sex trafficking ring. Most are forced to be prostitutes, and some are sold to the highest bidders like slaves. Many women are half dressed but not nude. Shirtless men are shown going into rooms where drugged women are on the bed. Parents need to know that this "hard PG" thriller seems just a drop of blood or two away from an R rating.

Not only is there a great deal of violence, but a disturbing subplot centers on young women being kidnapped into the seedy world of sex slavery. The themes of revenge, vigilantism, sex and drug trafficking, and international political corruption are too intense for young audiences.

Language is moderate "s--t," "a--hole" , but drug use is widespread though not a lot of actual use is shown on camera , and characters also drink and smoke. Add your rating See all 51 parent reviews.

Bryan reluctantly agrees to let Kim travel to Europe with her impetuous friend Amanda Katie Cassidy , but only if she takes an international cell phone with her and promises to call every day.

His concerns seem quite justified: Within half an hour of landing in Paris, Kim and Amanda are kidnapped into a disturbing world of sex trafficking. Luckily for Kim, she was checking in with her dad when the kidnapping took place, so Bryan is immediately able to use his counterintelligence skills to track down the European thugs responsible for her capture.

Neeson is an actor of considerable gravitas, and it's downright puzzling why this is his first meaty role in a mainstream film since Batman Begins. While he's well cast as an unstoppable father who could -- and would -- do serious damage to anyone in order to save his daughter, he's just too good for this revenge flick.

And Grace, who's actually 25, plays Kim as way too immature she even affects the awkward run of an uncoordinated 8-year-old girl.
