Review of Taken 3 (2014) by Brandon S — 11 Feb 2016
What bothers me about this movie isn't just the jarring, ugly editing or the incoherent action, but the fact that it's a rip-off of a much better movie, and I get the feeling that the writers are aware of that fact.
In 1993, Andrew Davis directed a masterful thriller that transcended genre clichà (C)s and became a multi Oscar-nominated classic that still thrills and excites people today. That movie was "The Fugitive" (based on the television series of the same title). Harrison Ford plays a man who is falsely accused of murdering his wife, and is determined to prove his innocence while simultaneously running from a manhunt police task force, led by a hard-nosed detective played by an award-winning character actor.
