I am a HUGE fan of the original Taken film, it didn't break any new ground but tonally was a superb action thriller. The sequel was a little step down, but I also enjoyed it enough. However, Taken 3 I find an extremely distracting film. The editing is so shockingly poor that I could barely make out what was going on. Each frame is less than 2 seconds long and that carries on throughout the film which made this the least enjoyable of the trilogy. Such a shame.

After all the excitement of the first two films one might think the Bryon Mills and those close to him deserved a break but inevitably they are caught up in further mayhem. Bryon's ex-wife is murdered in his apartment and moments after he finds her the police arrive and assume he is the killer. Bryon manages to escape from their custody and sets about finding the real killers. The police are one step behind him and as he closes in on the killers he finds himself targeted by them too… if that wasn't enough he is concerned that they may also target his daughter.If you just want lots of mindless action then you could do a lot worse than this; there are numerous fight scenes, shootouts, car chases and explosions. Despite that there isn't the sense of threat that one might expect… Bryon gets out of apparently unsurvivable incidents more than once; at one point he crashes his car down an elevator shaft and somehow survives. There are some twists which aren't bad. The ending is a little cliché… Mills may have proved his innocence in the murder of his wife but would he really be allowed to walk free after kidnapping police officers and causing serious, possibly fatal, mayhem on the freeway?! The silliness is somewhat salvaged by Liam Neeson's fine performance as Mills. The rest of the cast is solid enough. Overall this isn't a must see but if you want some brain in neutral action you could do worse.

don't waste a minute watching beyond insulting even for a "popcorn" flick Seriously missed the mark - it almost made the Cop a bad guy for being so stupid - "let the system decide" omg please please watch the first one and maybe even the second but I watched the 3rd install in 15 minutes - and missed nothing - oh and yes I love Liam movies

The last episode of the saga "Taken" directed by Olivier Megaton who also realized the second film. I liked the early pursuit race, even if it was rather simple, it made the movie cool from the start. I've been waiting since the beginning of the saga for an adventure with Bryan's mates, unfortunately, it is only 30 minutes from the end and it takes too much direction of an Impossible Mission Force ... One of my regrets is that at times it's not credible, either for the car scene, even if we have an explanation or even the plane at the end, It's too much. Not bad to conclude (I hope) the saga, a 6/10. Taken, the end ?
