Review of Taken 3 (2014) by Jb B — 11 Feb 2015

Taken 3 was a messy and lazy action film with a cast simply desperate for money. The embarrassing action sequences were horribly handled and even the stunt double was noticeable, they were all over the place.

The antagonist was very typical and the protagonist was invincible, numerous certain death experiences where the protagonist somehow survives without a single scratch. The first taken film was fantastic, intelligent, tense and intriguing.

Taken 3 lacks all elements and comes off almost humorous thanks to its flimsy direction and pathetic villains. I mean no one was even taken in this movie. The runtime felt excessively long and the predictable loop holes never worked.

I mean for god's sakes there is a sequel implied, the franchise should of ended long ago.
