Taken 3






Cast: Liam Neeson, Forest Whitaker(Inspector), Maggie Grace(Kim),Famke Janssen(Lenore),Dougray Scott(Stuart) and  Sam Spruell(Malankov),
Director: Olivier Megaton
Genre:  Crime, Thriller
 


Do not expect quality as the first of its series. Nevertheless, a good watch!



You may look forward to:

  • Liam Neeson, plays the famous 'Bryan Mills' who is more often than not caught in various conspiracies and becomes a victim of it. He is old but he does his job
  • The story of the movie is more or less simple, not very complex, but yet do not bore you. As a thriller this movie doesn't disappoint, doesn't fascinate either
  • Forest Whitaker does a regular job of an Inspector, a smart one :) He gives you a few quips
  • Maggie Grace looks beautiful even if she is seen crying in most of the movie :)
  • Dougray Scott has a good role, however pretty much predictable from the beginning, but yet he manages to confuse you time to time
  • Sam Spruell has one of the strong roles, when he is not the center piece of the show




What you can sleep over:


Famke Janssen has a rather short role, gives her best as a self confessed fickle minded spouse :D




The dampeners you should be aware of:

  • Liam Neeson looks pretty old, resultant of which many action scenes weren't as catchy
  • Olivier Megaton couldn't match Pierre Morel in the direction of both of its series. Expectations were always a tad high on this series with its first hit. All that we get is a lukewarm thriller. You watch it or you miss it, either ways you wont regret!




My Rating: 3/5
