Review of Taken 3 (2014) by Rocki G — 02 Jul 2015

It Ends Here. Hope it stays that way!

Taken 3 is an extremely forgettable film and for it already ended back in Taken 2 even if tagline here says "It Ends Here". Hope they stick with that and don't come with more of this utter nonsense. While Taken 2 was no great film but at least it had some enjoyable action. This one unfortunately fails even in that department. The action is way to choppy with too many cuts which almost induces headache. The editing and direction is horrendous. None of the action felt like having any continuity and it's way too hard to figure what on earth is happening? The story is no good either. Firstly no one gets Taken here but that's okay as they try something different. But the problem is how badly they execute the different approach. The plot line surrounding Stuart is completely absurd. Also it spends way too much time in first half with the relationship between the characters in the first half when we already know them very well. The almost 2 hours run time feels much longer and couldn't wait for it to end. Even Liam Neeson looked so uninterested that his presence didn't have the charm of the first 2 films. The cheesy dialogues from boring one-dimensional characters, disastrous action sequences and a below-par act by Neeson makes Taken 3 a complete disaster. Please end it here, I beg.

RATING: [1/5].
