Unknown or Taken?

I love Taken - it is what it is, but it delivers as an action film - but I haven't seen Unknown yet. So basically, which do people prefer?

I think that Taken is a better movie since there is more of a story behind it and the pacing is much faster. It was almost as though Unknown was somewhat similar to Taken but somewhat different as well.

Taken, any day of the week and twice on Sunday!

There's no comparison really.

Taken.

Not even a contest. It is a watchable 90 minutes of intense
Liam Neeson kicking ass.

Unknown was pretty stupid.

Taken only because Unknown got stupid when it suddenly was like "LOL NO MARTIN!!~~"

"Spankety spankety spankety!"

I enjoy both quite a bit and while I on the whole I think UNKNOWN had the stronger all around cast, I agree with the rest that TAKEN is the superior film.

Taken. No question.

I prefer intrigue over action, so Unknown is my preference, but Taken is clearly the better film, especially if you favour action.
