He’s probably defending his family or avenging them. The formula mostly involves an aging movie star getting to flex his muscles as a badass. And my sense is that those projects have continued to do well, so we will keep seeing more of them. Today, the market is filled with projects that take some elements of the Taken formula and run with them. It’s honestly not all that great of a movie (don’t get me wrong, it’s fun enough and I enjoy it), but the box office phenomenon that it became laid the groundwork for this remarkable subgenre of action cinema affectionately known as Dad Action. Us action fans owe so very much to Liam Neeson’s Taken. This must have been an ideal frame of mind because I adored The Foreigner. Having missed The Foreigner in theaters despite it being wholly my jam, I watched it on home video with muted expectations after its cool critical reception.
