Share

taken3

Ex-government operative Bryan Mills is accused of a ruthless murder he never committed or witnessed. As he is tracked and pursued, Mills brings out his particular set of skills to find the true killer and clear his name.

PROS

  • The inclusion of Academy Award winning actor ,Forest Whitaker, to the cast was a great choice.
  • Exciting and well executed action scenes
  • Fresh story line

 

FAVORITE QUOTES

Franck Dotzler: If you go down this road the LAPD, the FBI, the CIA there all gonna come after you they’ll find you and they’ll stop you.

Bryan Mills: Good luck.

CONCLUSION

The first two “Taken” movies were excellent , when i heard they were planning a third i was skeptical . I thought they would repeat the same story . Luckily i was wrong . “Taken 3” has a different story line than the first two movies . It feels fresh and original. It is unpredictable and has exciting twists and turns . It’s about as pulse-pounding as your favorite roller coaster would be on the third go-round. The action and chase sequences are more rugged in this one . Whitaker adds a fresh dynamic to the trilogy .

It is a must see movie , which you will enjoy even if you haven’t seen the first two .

Fingers cross ,there will be “Taken 4” .

  1. ifyabupubafye epo mwa’ambila. Lusakatimes, give us a readers corner here not movies. Look at fresh books people can read, not this dumbing propaganda you call movies. Better we read gentlemen and women than watching this nonsense. Takeni!!!! Taken from where and to where????
    As a start i will propose a book people can buy and read for themselves for the same price as a movie ticket from mandahill.

    Now go and buy this book on amazon or ask your nearest bookshop they get it for you. I assure you, you will enjoy it and learn from it ten times more than that taken movie.

  2. They could have done much better. Forest Whitaker’s role was pedestrian. This movie has way too many chuck Norris scenes. The only thing that was nice, the twist in the plot

  3. This is the first movie review I’ve read here and as I suspected it leaves a lot to be desired. You list the pros but not the cons e.g the sex and the violence; how much is this movie? I love Liam Neeson and his Taken movies but movies are pushing too much s&v when the story itself is good enough to sell tickets.
    And Z @ 2 you can’t force people to read by telling them to switch from what they want to do to go read the book of your choice. All you can say is don’t forget to read. You can also submit a review of that book and new books that you want on this site. Am sure LT would allow it.
