Taken 3

The secret to some of these high profile movies such as Taken 3 and the reason they work so well is the casting. From the tall and surprisingly lean Liam Neeson with his gungho mates and perceptive daughter, to the exquisitely evil bad guys, and even regarding the highly intelligent cop Forest Whittaker, all are perfect matches for the characters they play.

Following the thrilling first installment, and totally forgettable second installment, comes this slightly less forgettable third film of a franchise that really didn't have much right becoming a franchise in the first place.The action sequences are typically exciting, equipped with well choreographed fight sequences, repetitive as they become.

The editing is embarrassingly gross. It's like I'm having a seizure.

I readily admit that the first two Taken movies were entertaining not because their plots were original or good, but because Liam Neeson is such a brilliant actor that he can make even a formulaic film about human trafficking seem compelling. What impressed me the most, in fact, about the first and second Taken films was something that is not even written in the script and comes from Liam Neeson alone: the ability to project unrestrained ruthlessness and aggression in pursuit of an objective.

I personally think this is a great film. The action sequences, they say dull, are personally thrilling and Neeson acts awesome as well.

And I really hate the sequel. So let me explain why I'm giving the final chapter 7 stars.

As I have stated above - Taken 3 is comfortingly predictable if you liked the first two movies. There is almost constant action throughout the movie which keeps a high tempo and makes it enjoyable.

As the title suggests..Bryan Mills still have his "particular set of skills"..

I'm always used to good quality with Liam Neeson, like this one. The film was exciting, action-packed and had a happy ending.
