Not reallyVery enjoyable bollocks is how I would describe it.
If you enjoy 24 because of all the hard man/trained soldier stuff you'll love Taken, if you enjoy 24 because of the smarts, you'll probably hate it.
It was like Jack Bauer with his overshadowing love of his daughter, but if he didn't give a shit about morals, and if you took away the intellect of what he could realistically do*.
*Not that I'm claiming 24 is actually totally possible, just that they often do a good job of suspending disbelief

I'm really not an action film fannor a big buyer into the kudos given to soldiers...but 24 is possibly one of my favourite things ever.
I was left reeling after the first episode I ever saw, one of the best bits of tv in existence...and this is from someone who really doesn't like/watch many tv shows at all.

I love 24 and I was surprised by how good taken was. It runs along very similar lines as 24, but Liam Neeson would whoop Jack Bauers butt when it comes to imaginative torture techniques.
Definitely worth a watch at least once, I liked it for it's no nonsense approach to getting the job done.
A good example, he's on a boat, guards are looking for him, one peers through the glass porthole in a door, to be greeted with a bullet between the eyes. In 24 it would have involved an elaborate fight sequence. It was raw agression!

I thought Neeson did an excellent job of playing that character Jessie © needs pirate name suggestions,
