Taken
Taken is one of the greatest action thriller movies ever. It's engaging, gripping and full of drama and suspense.
What made this film a great thriller is because it followed the main conventions. There were many action scenes filled with violence involving a lot of explosions and mayhem. There was a race against time situation, which was one of the main things that kept the audience engaged. There was the obvious hero who was seen as a hardman, the villain[s] who were stereotypically foreign and the victim who stereotypically, was a female. Like all good action thrillers, the film climaxed with the hero defeating the villain[s] and saving the victim.
Another key aspect that made this film such a great thriller was the sound. The non diegetic sound used created a lot of suspense and put the audience on edge before, during and after every action scene. This made each scene seem even more intense and powerful.
