Taken

Taken is an American action movie that was produced by 20th Century Fox. It was released on February 27, 2008. Due to the movie targeting a PG-13 rating and equivalent ratings in the UK and Europe, the film was censored before it was released. Violence was toned down and drug use removed. The company later released an unrated extended edition that added these scenes back in. Peacock and Tubi streams the Theatrical version of the film rather then the uncensored extended edition.
