Taken is far more tense and suspenseful than the procedurals that fill the airwaves these days, and in that way it's a lot more like watching an action movie than most of the cop/detective shows on the air now.

The show doesn't seem interested in functioning as anything other than a platform for occasional fisticuffs, car chases, and gunplay.

"Oh please," "Oh stop," and "Huh?" are only three of the things I kept shouting while watching NBC's Taken ...The rest of my exclamations are unprintable in a family paper.

Death, guns, and constant mayhem in prequel to film series.

It's been made pretty ordinary. Too bad, Standen deserves to be shown off better.

The only thing we learn in the early going is that Bryan Mills really, really hates it when his beautiful blonde relatives are endangered. Glad NBC cleared that up for us.

By the end of its second episode, Taken has constructed a convincing enough dramatic chassis for an ongoing series.

I don't think NBC pulls this one off either. Best to keep your sword sharpened, Clive.

There's plenty of slam-bang in Taken, NBC's distant prequel to the trilogy of films, but the result is less a buzz than a headache.

Coolly confident action.
