While none of Neeson’s action films have been able to quite replicate the success of the original taken, the films’ modest budgets tend to mean that they do well enough at the box office even that if they don’t break the bank, they are still considered successful.
Liam Neeson starred in Taken back in 2008 and the movie was such a huge hit that it not only spawned a pair of sequels, but also an entire new genre for Neeson to get involved in.
