There are quite a few clones and derivatives of Taken since its release in 2008. Here are 35 mini-reviews.

It is not an action fest but rather a character-driven film. Looks good and well-produced. Korean film or not, can be tightened a bit.

Lacks adventure for a fantasy-adventure and has pacing issues. But still, it’s not a bad film. It looks good and is memorable.

Robert McCall is shot and needs time to recover in a picturesque Italian town. Takes too long to build and not enough action.

Highly recommended mockumentary about a Norwegian boy band. Tightly written. Good performances. Hilarious songs. A modern classic.

Not intensely horrifying but enough tension to be captivating, mostly set in one location. Good cinematography, performances and pacing.

A sufficiently satisfying conclusion. Despite the long runtime, it actually doesn’t drag.

It’s basically Luc Besson’s updated, Cold War version of Le Femme Nikita starring a Russian model.
