taken one real gritty dark and kicks ass, taken 3 starts of so corny every scene is awful., then it gets quite good with the cat and mouse game as forest whiitaker as the cop tries to catch him but then it gets all to silly and cliche and obvious and boring. feels more like the last awful die hard movie than taken 1,
there was a great video on you tube called i think how to make agreat action movie and they list all the things you shouldn't do and show scenes. this movie has all the dont's. poor camera angles to disguise scenes. hard to know whats going on. villians with a foreign accent silly car chases etc etc.
whys he chasing him so bad anyway when he knows he didn't do it.
the story is naff. this time his ex wife gets killed and he gets blamed. why not just make him take on a case to get some kidnappers of someone else cause he needs the cash or something. instead of always his family being targeted. its poor storytelling.
wasn't to keen on liam either in this one he was too smiley and wasn't believable.you never once for a moment believed he was a threat. it was just all to blase and easy for him, going through the motions.
low movie to average at best., shame as liam iand forest are great actors but only forest seems to try here.
