Tooken is a 2015 action-comedy film directed by John Asher and written by Cameron Van Hoy and Asher himself. The movie stars Lee Tergesen playing the role of Bryan Mills, a former CIA operative, who is out to rescue his daughter from an evil crime boss. Reno Wilson and Lauren Stamile co-star in the movie, playing important roles. The movie Tooken is a spoof of the popular action-thriller movie Taken, starring Liam Neeson. It follows Bryan Mills, who is now retired and living a peaceful life with his wife and daughter, Kim. However, things take a turn when Bryan's daughter is kidnapped by an organized crime syndicate led by a notorious villain, Miroslav. Bryan has to rely on his skills as a former CIA operative to rescue his daughter from the clutches of the ruthless gang.

The movie parodies many of the iconic scenes from Taken and other action movies, making it a fun watch for fans of action-comedies. The movie is filled with slapstick humor, witty one-liners, and over-the-top action scenes that keep the audience engaged throughout. The movie also pokes fun at the cliches that are typically present in action movies, such as the lead character being indestructible and able to take out multiple enemies with ease.

Lee Tergesen portrays Bryan Mills with a mix of seriousness and humor. He's still the tough and no-nonsense character that we saw in Taken, but he also shows a lighter side to his personality, making him more relatable to the audience. Reno Wilson plays Bryan's best friend, Digger, who helps him on his mission to rescue his daughter. He brings in the comic relief in the movie and shares great on-screen chemistry with Tergesen.

Lauren Stamile plays Lenore, Bryan's wife, who has a limited role in the movie. Her part is to mostly provide the emotional support to Bryan and to be taken captive by the villain at one point. The movie also has several other characters, including a flamboyant hacker, a dim-witted assassin, and a Russian mob boss, who all add to the entertainment quotient.

The movie's action scenes are well-choreographed and entertaining. The fights are violent but not too serious, keeping with the overall tone of the movie. The movie also has several car chases and explosions that add to the excitement.

Overall, Tooken is a fun and entertaining movie that parodies the action-thriller genre. The movie is not meant to be taken seriously and is meant to be viewed as a lighthearted comedy. The movie has its flaws, such as a predictable plot and limited character development. However, the movie's cast and humor make it a worthwhile watch. If you're a fan of action-comedies or parodies, then Tooken is definitely worth checking out.

Tooken is a 2015 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 20 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.7.
