Review of Taken 3 (2014) by Brock L — 14 Jun 2015
In a weird way, Taken is almost a cheesy modern classic. It's not a great film, but one that still cements how playing against type can have great results. The film also felt kinetic, a nonstop pulse as you watch Brian trying to save his daughter.
Taken 2 was not as good because it was the same movie with the dumb hook of Brian and Lenny getting captured. This time it's even worse, no one (technically) gets taken and it turns into a boring "I'm innocent" movie where the twist isn't even that interesting.
It's a shame like Nic Cage but Liam Neeson has been typecast and now it's tough to really root for him when he looks like he took a paycheque to do the film.
