Pugsy2100 Not the greatest of Taken. I just liked the story it's totally different and as usual the cast especially Liam was awesome.

gomike824 I have not seen Taken 1 or 2, but I thought Taken 3 stands on its own as engrossing, exciting thriller. Neeson's fighting and get-out-of-trouble skills are what you would expect ... and more. The movie is well-cast and direction and pace keep the tension high. I recommend to fans of action thrillers.

harrypotterjerv If you thought Taken 2 was bad, try this one.The movie literally opens with the murder of a guy WE DON'T KNOW, committed by a guy WE DON'T KNOW. After that some shots of Mills settling into life, then stuff happens, and it's all really confusing.The real problem with this is the director has taken it too far. Some things are only good in small doses and Taken is one of them. How many times can you seriously do this? The only good part is Liam Neeson and even he looks tired of this. The reveal that the new boyfriend is the murderer seems forced, and the sniper guy doesn't even make sense, and his character seems forced and is completely pointless. You could have written him out of the story and it wouldn't make a difference. It's horrid.

PeterBlues you're getting the point of view here from someone who have not seen the previous two movies, but just by the family guy spoof realized some of the trademark bits has been repeated. some of the camera work, for example when they were in the diner, made it appear as if they were under surveillance. but not just a third movie action piece, some really thoughtful and some moving family moments and intense dialogue between the two guys. the violence almost reminds of a video game and its kind of scary finding yourself grown quite used to it as it has increased in movies through the decades. the role reminds a bit of the classic dark passage.
