If Paul Schrader had cast Charles Bronson instead of George C. Scott in the sordid ’70s drama “Hardcore,” about a man searching for his runaway daughter in the porn world, the result might have resembled “Taken,” which stars Liam Neeson as a former CIA tough guy who smashes a lot of Parisian skulls to rescue his daughter from a sex-slavery operation.
