Neeson, who was 56 upon the release of Taken, took on a string of similar roles in the ensuing decade but has said that 2019's Cold Pursuit was the last high-octane action movie he'll do.

But she loses that medal based on the following pieces of evidence: she's wearing Ugg boots in the summer she's a 19-year-old woman in the year 2009 whose plan, along with 17-year-old Kim, is to follow U2 around on their European tour in just the first few minutes after she appears onscreen, she tells a French stranger named Peter their names, where they're from, and where they're staying, and invites the stranger to come over before the party that she's also agreed to attend with him - all without listening to or asking Kim she reveals to Kim that the apartment they're staying at will be all theirs because the cousins who she'd told Kim (and therefore Bryan) would be there are in fact in Spain and as soon as they arrive at the sprawling fifth-floor apartment, she immediately splays herself across the couch, announces that she's going to sleep with Peter because 'I hear French guys are amazing in bed,' pressures Kim into losing her virginity while they're in Paris, blasts music, and dances with herself for at least five minutes while Kim goes to the bathroom and then talks to her dad. Let's face it: Due to her obliviousness, Amanda is 100 percent responsible for this movie trilogy and, as such, deserves a medal. It's that someone will put his daughter in a position to be kidnapped.

Kim's friend Amanda is the devil incarnate.īryan's worst nightmare isn't that someone might harm his daughter. In quick succession, we learn that Kimmy realizes that Amanda might be a bad influence, that she understands why she should have listened to her dad, that he has a very cool briefcase filled with spy gear, and that Bryan is absolutely lethal ('They're going to take you,' he informs his very frightened daughter just before she is taken and the speech begins). So much is conveyed during the derailed phone call between Bryan and Kimmy. The phone call is longer than you remember.īryan's epic spiel clocks in at 40 seconds, but it comes at the end of a four-minute conversation with Kim, during which he expresses fatherly concern that she hasn't followed the conditions she agreed to prior to her trip, like calling him when she lands and not letting her friend Amanda do really, really dumb things, like telling kidnappers where they're staying and immediately blasting really loud music so that the sum total of her apartment experience is dancing by herself in the living room for multiple minutes before said kidnappers haul her away.
