> Independently a fine movie rather being associated with TAKEN.

Actually, it was not a bad movie, I really enjoyed it. But associated with ‘Taken’ and being the third film in the series was the setback. Because unlike the first two films, this one was somewhat detached from the original theme. Except the cast from the previous two, the story takes place in a completely different platform. From all the three films, the phone call between father and daughter was retained, but was not effective as the first one which became just a trademark of the series, that’s all.

The first half creates the puzzle and next half solves it. As expected, it was a typical structure in this trilogy, but the last quarter was turned into something like ‘Mission Impossible’. In ‘Taken’ films, Bryan Mills (our lead guy) works alone, but he formed a team with a tech guy and others. That does not sound good, at least tried to be different from the original movie.

It is a little disappointment for ‘Taken’ fans, but you will have a best shot if you see it as an independent one off movie. Yes could have made a better action flick if it was not linked to it. Hope it all ends here like they have said. As a trilogy, it failed, or maybe we can call it a 50-50. But the first one was a masterpiece, a trendsetting piece.

6.5/10

I was looking forward to this movie and I have to say that I was a wee bit disappointed. It is a decent enough action movie but the script leaves somewhat to be desired. A good chunk of the movie is quite good, actually it is very good, but there are some crucial scenes that, in my opinion, really drags it down to a rather mediocre level.

The plot is a fairly classical, not a very intelligent nor a very original, one. When trying to push the third sequel in a series Hollywood have a tendency to fall back on certain “trusted” elements. Like, make the hero haunted by the law and / or the government (no I do not consider the government to be the same as the law) or kill off some of the main (or at least likable) characters.

In this movie they are doing both. I do not know why this always seems to be the standard solution because I certainly do not like it. Are the general movie going audience really falling for these, in my mind, cheap scripts? I guess they must be since this formula is repeated over and over again. Well, it is not for me to judge other peoples tastes and if I would have been a bean counter for the movie industry then it would really have been my duty to squeeze out as much money as possible regardless of whether I thought it would make a good movie or not, However, I am not. I am a consumer of movies and my personal opinion is that these plot elements are pretty cheap and not really to my liking. But then, that is just me.

Anyway, the movie is not really bad. It is a decent enough action movie and, in general, I quite like the performance of Liam Neeson. He is the half-sad, silent and, most of all, ass-kicking hero that I like. He is pretty much what holds this movie together. Well, that was perhaps not entirely fair. Forrest Whitaker is doing a quite good job as well. Most of the other characters are mostly fillers. The main bad guy started off fairly good but he really never got the chance to shine and the ending scenes with the big confrontation was…well I would say pretty pathetic.

This brings us to my man gripe with this movie. Up until this point Liam Neeson was really playing the big bad, and really skilled, killing machine. The way he, with the help of his friends, entered the bad guy’s stronghold was perhaps not very innovative (seen that, been there, and done that) but at least it was professional. After that however it turned into a bloody joke. Not only does our hero walk into a heavily defended stronghold carrying only a small pea shooter but every time he manages to liberate a decent weapon from the hopelessly incompetent bad guys he throws it away and, occasionally, picks up another pea shooter. What the f…?

Then we have the fairly ridiculous big fight at the end where the bad guy runs around in his underwear. That was just embarrassing. Maybe I could have swallowed the underwear thing if it was not for the fact that Lieam Neeson suddenly lost all kind of professionalism. Apart from the pea shooter syndrome mentioned before he just gets himself wacked by this maniac until, in the last minute, he miraculously recovers and gets the upper hand. There were a few minor glimpses of intelligence in the whole scene but they were never really exploited.

On the whole, if would say this was a fairly decent and enjoyable action movie but I was expecting more from it. If the last third of the movie would have matched the first two thirds then my rating would have been higher. Maybe Liam Neeson is not a big enough star, although I like him a lot, to pick his roles like he wants to but I would say that he should indeed be a bit more picky and read the scripts before signing on.

I got dizzy watching this movie
One of the worst movie editing I’ve ever seen in my life for an action movie. That killed the movie for me. I think they should just withdraw Taken 2 and Taken 3 and admit that they should have stopped at the first one.

This movie was so boring, and when you expected to see some action scenes, you were getting yourself in the paranoid mind of a director who wanted to experiment on the poor audience. My eyes still hurt from the crappy editing of this movie.

Guys please stop here, enough, no more Taken sequels. With each one of them you’re killing the hype that the first one created.

Don’t expect the trail of bodies from the previous movies
Well, once again Megaton grabs the weapon of mass destruction that happens to be Liam Neeson and this time drops him in the heart of Los Angeles, though since in this film he has been framed for murder and in most instances he is being chased by the LAPD he unfortunately isn’t able to go on the killing spree that he did in the previous movies. I guess that is not surprising because it looks like they have wanted to try something different from the previous movies so as to wrap up this action packed extravaganza.

I don’t want to say too much about this film though because there are quite a few twists in it and I really don’t want to give all that much away because, honestly, it is a pretty good hour and a half of Liam Neeson running around outsmarting the LAPD. Okay, they had to throw an intelligent cop into the mix because otherwise he would pretty much be leaving the boys in blue (do they actually wear blue, or is that just a saying that is used down here in Oz?) scratching their heads and wondering where on Earth (or in Los Angeles) this highly trained ex-government operative is.

There were a couple of things that I found a little annoying, one being a little confused recognising the main antagonist because he looked almost identical to a couple of other characters in the film. Also, there was a part of the movie where he suddenly jumps to a car chase, and I was wondering what actually tipped him off to pick this particular guy as the antagonist, and then start following him. It seemed as if it went straight from him escaping the police at the university to the antagonist, for some completely unknown reason, saying ‘lets go to Malibu’ and then having the Russian thugs running Neeson off the road. I guess they needed an excuse to have Neeson going from outsmarting the cops to actually killing bad guys (because come on, we can’t have him killing cops who are just going about their job, even if they are chasing the wrong guy).

Still, Taken 3 is still a pretty cool movie, and as mentioned, moves away from having a family member kidnapped to having Neeson framed for a murder he didn’t commit. However, we couldn’t have Taken 3 with Neeson just running away from cops, we had to have Eastern Europeans running around with Eastern European accents and Eastern European thuggishness for Neeson to kill, and we also had to have a machine gun fight to top it all off. However, the other thing that baffles me is why is it always Los Angeles? I’m sure that there are heaps of other cities in the United States for Neeson to run around doing what Neeson does best, but I guess it has more to do with all of the film studios being based here than any lack of variety (though Hollywood’s imagination can be quite limited at times).
