1. "Taken" (2008)
This thrilling film introduced the world to Liam Neeson's signature "very particular set of skills" – his ability to defeat bad guys without mercy.

2. "The Grey" (2011)
In this semi-absurd yet engaging story, Liam Neeson plays a refinery worker who survives a plane crash in Alaska and must battle CGI wolves in the Alaskan wilderness. While the special effects may not hold up well, Neeson's unironic gravitas carries the movie through. Despite its cheesy premise, "The Grey" remains a guilty pleasure, showcasing Neeson's trademark toughness. Watch "The Grey" on Prime Video (buy/rent) now.
3. "Unknown" (2011)
This 2011 thriller features Liam Neeson as a doctor who finds himself entangled in a web of stolen identities. With a dash of Hitchcock's "North by Northwest", "Unknown" offers a mix of mystery and action that Neeson executes with his signature class. While the "amnesia effect" trope may be a bit obvious, Neeson's performance remains a highlight of the film. Watch "Unknown" on Prime Video now.
