Taken 3: An Even More Pointless Sequel Than Taken 2

Taken 3 came out in 2015 and is the third and final movie in the Taken franchise. It revolves Bryan Mills played by Liam Neeson being framed for the murder of his ex wife played by Famke Janssen. This movie was made with a plot that is in no way a result of the actions of the previous two movies. Taken 3 isn't really even about Bryan Mills he is a bystander.

Taken 3 is very focused on the ex wife's new husband played by Dougray Scott. It seems he made some bad business deals that caused the investors to retaliate. Famke Janssen is killed and found in Liam Neeson's apartment to make it look like he killed her. So he goes on the run as he is pursued by cops and the people after the Dougray Scott.

In terms of being a bad sequel, the daughter is barely in the movie. Her plot is she is pregnant and is afraid to tell her father. She serves no purpose in this movie just like Bryan Mills. Forest Whitaker plays an FBI agent investigating the murder of Famke Janssen. He is the good agent who believes in honesty and but this is a very generic character. His character isn't very memorable.

Liam Neeson doesn't use his particular set of skills in this movie. In fact this is the furthest from the Liam Neeson action genre formula than any other movie he's made on this list. While he is trying to solve a mystery, he isn't the movie focus and most things that happen to him aren't his doing, but the doing of others. Taken 3 is the weakest entry in the Taken series and the Liam Neeson action genre. It’s completely unnecessary and doesn’t even have Liam Neeson as the main character. But the biggest problem is the movie is just plain boring. 🍔
