Taken (2008)

As Liam Neeson says in Taken, he has a very particular set of skills. Primary among those skills is an uncanny ability to punch a dude in the throat. It was all I could do not to run and grab a turtle neck after watching this movie. If I ever meet Liam Neeson I'm definitely going to try to protect my throat.
Taken is breathtakingly outlandish. Liam Neeson goes on what can only be described as a rampage through France. Roughly two thirds of the characters in the movie are punched in the throat, killed or punched in the throat and killed.
