Taken 3 (movie critique)

  1. Liam Neeseon



Taken3


The Travelling Toe having seen "Taken" and then "Taken 2", decided to complete the series with "Taken 3".   With friend in tow, off to the local multiplex we went, settled in our seats, and strapped ourselves in as we knew it would be a bumpy ride....and so it was.  Now to us it was much better than "Taken 2" as there was an actual plot to the movie.  Liam  Neeson once again plays ex-covert operative, Bryan Mills. He and his ex-wife are tying to decide where their relationship is going.  Well it does not go well as she is murdered at his apartment and he is framed for her murder.  He takes it on the lam and tries to prove his innocence.   (side note - if he is such an excellent operative why did he pick up the bloody knife in his apartment - even The Travelling Toe knows you don't do that????)   

During the course of the movie, there are lots of car chases, car crashes, helicopter tacking and  plenty of body slams.   Oh and there is the usual Russian bad guys with lots of body tattoos and menacing stares and grunts.  Of course Bryan takes them all out which then turn leads him to the real villain who killed his wife and set him up.  Forest Whitaker, plays the LAPD Police Inspector in charge of tracking down and bringing Bryan in for the murder of his wife.

The action does keep your heart rate up and your eyes wide awake.  The Travelling Toe and friend agreed that Liam Neeson is always a pleasant site to look at even when he is taking out major parts of LA.
