Don't Believe the Hype

Absolutely the worst movie.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I have not seen Taken 1 or 2, but I thought Taken 3 stands on its own as engrossing, exciting thriller. Neeson's fighting and get-out-of-trouble skills are what you would expect ... and more. The movie is well-cast and direction and pace keep the tension high. I recommend to fans of action thrillers.

Taken 3 is a mediocre movie with an average plot and a cast that look more inspired to get their pay check than to be in this. It certainly has its moments, there are some stellar action sequences and some really tense scenes that make for a pleasant viewing that is certainly not boring. It is a pleasure as always to see Liam Nesson naturally slip back in to Bryan Mills' shoes, he has a very effortless screen presence. When I first saw the trailer, I was delighted to see this movie taking a different approach and doing something very unlike the last two films. However, this plot is in no way as engaging or gripping as the previous two, it was a lot more predictable and felt like any other action. While the first Taken was breaking boundaries, this movie played it safe.There is also some very cringe worthy dialogue throughout that took me out of it on a regular basis. No matter how absurd the characters situation is, everything they say in response should still feel realistic, there were far too many "action movie lines" that no one would ever say in real life. No one's heart seemed to be in this, and that was it's downfall. Reasonably well executed, Taken 3 falls flat in far too many other areas for me to possibly recommend it. After being framed for a murder he did not commit, Bryan Mills sets out to find the real killer while on the run from the law. Best Performance: Forest Whitaker

The last episode of the saga "Taken" directed by Olivier Megaton who also realized the second film. I liked the early pursuit race, even if it was rather simple, it made the movie cool from the start. I've been waiting since the beginning of the saga for an adventure with Bryan's mates, unfortunately, it is only 30 minutes from the end and it takes too much direction of an Impossible Mission Force ... One of my regrets is that at times it's not credible, either for the car scene, even if we have an explanation or even the plane at the end, It's too much. Not bad to conclude (I hope) the saga, a 6/10. Taken, the end ?

you're getting the point of view here from someone who have not seen the previous two movies, but just by the family guy spoof realized some of the trademark bits has been repeated. some of the camera work, for example when they were in the diner, made it appear as if they were under surveillance. but not just a third movie action piece, some really thoughtful and some moving family moments and intense dialogue between the two guys. the violence almost reminds of a video game and its kind of scary finding yourself grown quite used to it as it has increased in movies through the decades. the role reminds a bit of the classic dark passage.
