Taken 3

  The big debate that everyone has been asking about Taken 3 is what is there left to take?  They took his daughter in the first one. They took both him and his wife in the second one.  What now?  Why even make this movie?  My response: it's a fun movie.  People can't go in expecting this to win best original screenplay, or even get an Oscar nod.  Let's face it, if the first one didn't, the third one certainly won't.  That being said, it really had a great cast with with the addition of Forest Whitaker to the already talented Liam Neeson and Maggie Grace.

In this film, Brian Mill's wife is "taken" from him permanently - by being killed and then his daughter is taken again.  Overall the film was fun and entertaining, although there was one point where I felt that the director just wanted to film henchman Malakov in his briefs.  I would recommend that you watch it, knowing that it's not meant to be a philosophical conundrum.  Forest Whitaker's performance as the police detective is interesting and Liam Neeson continues to step up to the plate with his action sequences.  Add to all of that a great twist at the end and you've got a good formula for cinema entertainment.
