how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 57 comments (49 from Metacritic, 8 from TMDB reviews) — 19 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 19 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“The movie is pretty much action all the way.”
Dark Jedi · TMDB reviews ↗
“it starts hitting them right away. We're literally only minutes into the film before we find out that Neeson's lead character is divorced, and his wife has re-married to a decent, rich provider, but one who's bookish and could never take him in a fight, and that the present he got for his daughter is for an interest that she no longer has.”
Gimly · TMDB reviews ↗
“But once we get into the action proper, it's pretty great.”
Gimly · TMDB reviews ↗
“doesn’t waste time getting to the point. The plot is straightforward but gripping, setting up just enough character development before throwing you into a tense, fast-paced ride.”

“keeping the pacing tight and the tension high”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
“The beginning is a little slow, but after Neeson starts his hunt and does his best wrath-of-God impression, it doesn’t skip a beat.”
Patrick Parker, Premiere · 88
“Taken moves so fast and with such single-minded, vindictive energy, there's no time for moral ambivalence.”
Josh Rosenblatt, Austin Chronicle · 78
“There is no mythology, no irony, no real soul--just a Charles Bronson simplicity about the whole affair.”
Christopher Borrelli, Chicago Tribune · 75
“There's a xenophobic element to Taken's premise, to be sure - the idea that travel, even to Western Europe, isn't safe for Americans, and that foreigners (Albanians, Arabs) are by nature shifty and sinister.”
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer · 75
“Taken is nonsense, but it's terrifically entertaining nonsense.”
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald · 75

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
