Unknown (Jaume Collet-Sera/Oliver Butcher & Stephen Cornwell; 2011)

"Taken" was an unexpected and guilty pleasure in 2008, so I was looking forward to the latest not-quite-Bourne-and-not-quite-Transporter genre addition.

It was fun.  It owed a lot more to the Bourne trilogy than I expected but it was fun, and a nice riff on the is-it-me-or-am-I-going-crazy thriller-adventure film.

For a guy approaching the big six-oh, Neeson is doing the business as an action hero, and I look forward to the next one.

Might have to take that back:  I'd assumed "Unknown" was a Luc Besson-produced film like "Taken".
