Tak3n, aka Taken 3, is the third and (hopefully) final film in the series featuring Brian Mills (Liam Neeson), ex CIA-type chap, whose daughter was kidnapped (i.e. ‘taken’) in the first film, then No.2 saw him and his wife ‘taken’, and now, in ‘Tak3n‘, THE DOG IS TAKEN!!!!
No, seriously, that hasn’t happened. But there’s a tragedy and he goes on the run, and the cops are trying to stop him, but he wants to finish it all once and for all.
However, while the first film was so-so, the second one was terrible. And while the first film was a censored 15-cert in the cinema, and an uncut 18-cert on DVD and Blu-ray, the second film was respectively a 12- and 15-cert. What next? U-certificate?
Tak3n is directed by Olivier Megaton (Taken 2, Transporter 3), it’s co-written by Luc Besson (who should know better) and also stars Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen, Forest Whitaker, Sam Spruell, Dougray Scott, Leland Orser and someone who’s actual name is Johnny 5.
Also, to show how bad it is, the film is released on January 8th 2015, and all the terrible films are released in January and February, because they’re no good for summer releases.
The tagline says “It ends here”. I wish I could share their optimism…
