Taken

2008 / Pierre Morel > The story of a retired Jason Bourne-type going after sex traffickers who've kidnapped his daughter. How could I resist? Liam Neeson is nothing short of a bad ass in the follow-up to Morel's parkour-actioner District B13. No punches are pulled, and lots of disbelief are suspended. The man's on a mission, okay? It doesn't matter that he's taking out 13,216 baddies in a foreign country. He can do it, and you can't stop him. It's his daughter! In a sex slave trade! It's just not right! But seriously, it's a fantastic adrenaline ride that gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to plausibility. Jason Bourne would be proud.

Taken is one of those movies where you have to be willing to ignore the plot holes and just enjoy the action sequences. But if you can side step the plot holes, the action was great; like you said, much like a Bourne movie.
