Chicago Tribune -
There is no mythology, no irony, no real soul--just a Charles Bronson simplicity about the whole affair.

ReelViews -

Chicago Sun-Times -
Taken shows Mills as a one-man rescue squad, a master of every skill, a laser-eyed, sharpshooting, pursuit-driving, pocket-picking, impersonating, knife-fighting, torturing, karate-fighting killing machine who can cleverly turn over a petrol tank with one pass in his car and strategically ignite it with another.

Variety -
Neeson growls his way through the functional dialogue as an unstoppable killing machine in impressive, cold-eyed style.

Entertainment Weekly -
Propulsively outandish thriller.
