Taken is a 2008 action thriller starring Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills, a former CIA operative who discovers that his daughter has been kidnapped while traveling in Paris and subsequently has to use his "special skills" to find her before she disappears into the sex trafficking trade. The film was directed by Pierre Morel (From Paris with Love) from a screenplay by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. The success of the film would lead to two feature film sequels: 2012's Taken 2 and 2015's Taken 3 as well as a television series prequel that premiered on NBC in 2017.
The following weapons were used in the film Taken:

SIG-Sauer P239
Jean-Claude Pitrel (Olivier Rabourdin) retrieves an older model SIG-Sauer P239 from under the sink in his bathroom when Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) comes to his house and points it at him at the dinner table. When Bryan reveals that he has already found and unloaded the gun, Jean-Claude tries to shoot him, and has the ammunition thrown in his face, while being chastised for not recognizing the weight difference between a loaded and unloaded gun after being behind a desk so long.

Glock 17
The guard of Patrice Saint-Clair (Gérard Watkins) who fails to kill Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) "quietly" is seen holding a Glock 17. It is likely a rubber prop, since it is never fired and quickly thrown away.
