"Taken" vs. "Frantic"
"Taken" owes a hell of a lot to "Frantic" - an American in Paris searching for his abducted daughter vs. American in Paris searching for his abducted wife.

They aren't forcing him. He tells him that he doesn't have money but he does have a certain skill set and that he was coming to Paris and would kill them all. More like if Jason Bourne married and had a teenaged daughter.
