Books maybe not, but it's become a film trope for sure. Taken, Wick, and Nobody comes to mind.

    Oh, Taken put me off action movies for a good while. I don't even know if I ever bothered to watch it I was so irritated by the trailer.

    Not just the movie, but Liam Neson?

    It's like Military Aged Male only means something somewhere else.

    hhhn it's been a while since i've last seen it but i don't think he did anything crazy in the first one, just being sneaky

    Nothing like the Taken 3 scene of him jumping a fence from 19 different angles, each shown for less than 1 second to hide the fact that Liam Neeson absolutely cannot jump a fence to save his life? I think that was the craziest stunt on the entire trilogy. TIL, in cinematography it is called a “blender cut”. Because it looks like they just put all the clips on blender and stitched them at random.
