Review of Taken 3 (2014) by Thegodfatherson — 10 Jan 2015

Taken 3 is a mess. A mess that could have been a solid sequel to the trilogy. After Taken 2, I lost all hope of the Taken sequels being any good, becuase Taken 2 was a mess as well. Taken 3 applies the same formula that made the first Taken so good, and cuts, copies and pastes the same acting and writing skills used.

By this time, the formula has already been worn out, but the makers DONT care about it, they just want the money. And yes, they succeed, becuase all shows were sold out. When everyone watched the movie, 79 percent of them were sleeping and the other percent of the people were talking about Liam Neeson stopping acting altogether.

And I have to agree with them because, the story was boring. Not a moment, did Taken 3 fully realize it's potential and kick ass. Even the action scenes lack a sense of joy that should have made this atleast enjoyable.

Well, Forest Whitaker gives a solid performance as a by the book cop, and Famke Jessen- well, you'll have to see to find out. Or, just don't see it altogether, some taut moments aside, this franchise has gotten it's rotten apple of the bunch.
