When the trailer for "Take" first began to make the circles in 2008, no one thought it was terrible for Liam Nyson to act in action. With films such as "Darkman", "Rob Roy" and "Starwells War: Episode I - Phantom Threat" of his biography, The The the 1993 Best Actor Nominated for Schindler's List Of course it seemed comfortable making films for genres. The surprise was the five years that led to it. After failing to use the well -deserved second best acting nomination for "Kinsey" in 2004, he split up to support parts of the "Kingdom of Heaven", "Batman starts" and "Pluto Breakfast", which suggested that either being transmitted for the leading roles, he did not respond to the lead.

After the western West Seraphim Falls failed to catch Moviegoers (despite the intriguing pairing of Neyson and Pierce Brosnan), the next was "taken". Directed by Pierre Morel, who made a great action spraying with the parked "District 13" and produced by a globally popular hitmaker Luke Besson, had an irresistible hook in that Neyson monologue that played over the trailer (which, because the US was almost a year old). His retired CIA agent, Brian Mills, threatened men who kidnapped their daughter with a "special set of skills, skills I gained during a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you" guaranteed a good, bloody time.

By the end of his theater race, Take earned $ 227 million with a $ 25m budget. Nyson had an action franchise if he wanted it, and he did. "Take" films Earn Neeson, a burden of money and made it one of the most feasible action waters in Hollywood, but the Tezda always felt a little sheep about this because, well, the script for the first film was so silly.

In an interview in 2022 with screenrantNeyson revealed that he had a moment during the first week of "taken" shooting when he faced the unused all endeavor. After Neeson:

"I had a driver when I was doing" Take ", the first" Taken "movie 15 years ago, I think it was, and we fired La for the first week, and at the end of the first week, my driver while dropping me at the hotel, he said:" I started reading the Take's script, I had to take the page 40. I didn't know how to answer it.

Obviously, Nyson surpassed shame and made two more "taken" movies, but He told Vanity Fair Initially, he thought this would be one and a gig. "I was very surprised by" Zemen, "he said. "I thought it would be a movie directly on the video. It was such a simple story. " He allowed it to sound frightening in that trailer, but the whole venture still felt "pink" for him. "It was a basket," he said. "I really felt that. It's nice to prove it wrong. "

How wrong was Nyson? The three films combined with the gross $ 929 million in the world treasurer of reasonable budgets. Fortunately, Nyson returned to more serious work as Martin Scorsese's "silence", "Wods of Steve McQueen" (where he thought he was wrong), and "Marlowe" by Neil Jordandan. Surely, there are still excellent performances, but before we get there, we will see Neyson dealing with the dumbest role in his career: Police Officer Frank Drebin in Akiva Schaefer's "naked gun".
