      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      Hampered by toothless PG-13 action sequences, incoherent direction, and a hackneyed plot, Taken 3 serves as a clear signal that it's well past time to retire this franchise. Read critic reviews

        I can handle the 47 cuts and shakey cam poorly trying to hide the fact that Liam Neeson can't run. I can handle the inevitability of "More money means more explosions!" in franchises like these. I can even contort myself to handle the right-out-the-gate fridging of one of my favourite actresses that Taken 3 copped so much flak for. But what I cannot handle is how absolutely fucking dumb this movie gets in the second half. Every five minutes my roommate or I had to scream "WHAT!?" at the things that were happening on screen, and disparage the various idiotic and/or nonsense decisions that were being made.

        Even worse than the previous installment. Taken 3 is a complete copy off the 1993 film "The Fugitive" only difference is that The Fugitive is a far better film. It has some good sequences and Liam Neeson once again giving credibility to his role. However, this film fails overall with a weak plot, lack of originality and horribly edited fight scenes. Not worth your time, there's better action films out there.

        This is my biggest guilty pleasure of all time, I know this film is God awful, from the directing to the writing and the stereotypical villain but I honestly don't care it was just popcorn entertainment and seeing Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills is always good. The plot of this film is basically the plot of The Fugitive. This film is so bad it's good and that's why I give this film 6/10.

        The final chapter of the series, Taken 3 is full of thrills and excitement. This time ex-CIA agent Bryan Mills is framed for the death of his ex-wife and must go on the run in order to evade the police long enough to discover who killed her and get revenge. The change from being a foreign espionage thriller to a domestic one is refreshing, and the law enforcement pursuit is also a nice inclusion. Additionally, the murder mystery and investigation are done fairly well, and is quite engaging. However, the characters are poorly written, giving the actors little to work with. But despite its problems, overall Taken 3 is a solid conclusion to the series.
