I saw "Taken 3", starring Liam Neeson-A Million Ways to Die in the West, Battleship; Famke Janssen-Jean Grey in the X-Men movies, The Faculty; Maggie Grace-The Twilight movies, Knight and Day; Dougray Scott-Hit-man, Deep Impact and Forest Whitaker-The Last Stand, Panic Room.
This is the third and last-or so they claim- of the action/revenge series about an ex-CIA operative with a particular set of skills. This installment is directed by Olivier Megaton-his last name sounds like a transformer-who directed Taken 2, Columbiana and Transporter 3. It's written by Luc Besson-I love his work-who also wrote Lucy, Brick Mansions, the Nikita and Transporter series, both for the movies and TV. Liam plays the operative turned family man that just keeps having the worst luck. In the first movie, Maggie, his daughter, was taken. In the second movie, it was his wife, Famke. Thankfully, no one is actually taken in this one but someone is killed-and guess who gets framed for it? If you have seen the trailer, you probably have a good idea who it is. Anyway, Forest plays the police officer trying to capture Liam-Yeah, Good Luck there, buddy!-and Dougray plays Famke's second husband. Let's face it, this movie is not going to win any academy awards. But, it is a good action movie with lots of car chases, gun battles and assorted fisticuffs and if that is what gets you going, then you should like this one. It's rated "PG-13" for action, violence and language and has a running time of 1 hour & 33 minutes. I enjoyed it and would buy it on DVD.
