wow this move was loving terrible, everything about it was poo poo. -stupid and convoluted plot thats ultimately nonsensical and boring as hell. multiple plot threads that go nowhere. forest whitake is always nice to see but he gets nothing to do except stare at people and things with his weird hosed up eye -the actions scenes are atrocious. the director of this movie decided shakey cam actions scenes werent annoying enough so he came up with cutaway action. the camera cant hold a loving shot for more than a second during actions scenes, i swear. every single one of them is incomprehensible and the constant cutaways made me feel dizzy. wide shots to establish the geography of the scene? gently caress that a millions different zoomed in things vaguely connected to whats going on is way more interesting. even ignoring this glaring issue the setpieces themselves are all dull and cliched. i mean this movie has like 4 loving car chases. they were so annoying i enjoyed the boring talky scenes more than the shooty scenes - no loving blood and gore. none at all, despite the fact liam neeson kills several people the movie. this is the most pristine action film ive ever see. at some point neeson shoots someone in the head. youd think that would be a messy end for someone but nope, no splatter or brain matter flying off, nothing but a quick cutaway and the dude going limp afterwards. then later on he shoots a dude twice in the chest. even though hes dying from his injuries and we can clearly see the dudes chest, there is still no loving blood or gunshot wounds. it looks seriously retarded this movie is trash and it will still make a ton money and 11 more sequels will be made because people love supporting trash with their hard earned dollars. do yourself a favor and just go watc john wick instead

I liked that John Wick didn't have bullshit shakey-cam quick-cut action, it was very refreshing. I haven't seen Taken 2 or 3 because why

"Gad Dummit!" Ex-Black Ops superman Bryan Mills pistol whips the payphone. "Listen closely, daughter-girl: I need you to do the things that I am saying to you: I need you...to allow yourself to be tooken. When they are to pull you out by your delicate white ankles, I need you to tell me what you see with your eyes." He licks his lips; they are super chapped. "But you must describe these things with your mouth." He hears his daughter scream and gasp. There is a distant, muffled commotion; the grunts of primitive men from developing countries, men with unibrows and track suits and fetishes for Armani and soccer. "Men!" his daughter shouts. "A lot of them! Foreign-looking white men! They're talking in Arabic! Or German!" Mills mmmhmmms into the phone even though he doubts she can hear his acknowledgement. "That is good, my hummingbird. Keep going." "One of them is wearing a...red shirt! Pleated pants!" Mmmmhmmm... Mills pulls his sweatpants down over his milky white thighs and begins masturbating himself.

Hampered by toothless PG-13 action sequences, incoherent direction, and a hackneyed plot, Taken 3 serves as a clear signal that it's well past time to retire this franchise.

If you think Taken 3 was bad wait for the next Bourne movie with that guy that's not Matt Damon. I was surveyed on both of these movies last year and the surveyer got upset when I said I have no interest in either and that Bourne without Damon is a poo poo idea. "But would you buy it on dvd?" just burn it all down already

the most unrealistic part of this movie is that the LA police never fires theirs guns, lol those bloodthirsty fuckers would have shot liam neesons a millions times after he didnt immediately put his hands up when they told him to

Funny story, but I was actually supposed to play Jason Bourne before Matt Damon got the part. This was back when Oliver Stone was originally going to be the director. He showed up at my door one day, pouring rain, and pitched the idea of the movie to me (he's a family friend and I'm an ex-Delta Green Beret SF, so he knew I'd be a shoo-in for the role). I was like, "I'm kinda busy with poo poo right now but why don't you check out my boy for the role?" "Which one is that?" "The one from that movie about the retarded janitor. You know the one--he turns out to be wicked smart, but in a Rainman kind of way?" "Half-Baked?" "No, no he's not ethnic, this guy. He was also in that cartoon, TITAN AE." "Oh Jim Breuer." "Yeah that dude. gently caress that guy." And the rest was history.

casting films like this must be a nightmare when you tell the middle eastern actor you want him to play a racist caricature of a swathy lusty slave owning mohammedan, and all those slavic actors need to play inhuman slavic scumbag stereotypes. talk about awkward auditions.

I saw a Bourne movie that didn't have Matt Damon. I think it was Bourne Legacy or something. I only saw the first and second Bourne Movies before it but it was no worse than the first Bourne movie and much better than the second one, which had the worst shaky action cam I've ever seen.

Taken 3 wasnt that bad, I mean it sucked and John Wick is a thousand times better, but at least it had cool Russian dudes doing cool Russian things like being scum and getting shot in the face.

As a white male with no history of seizures, that final showdown where he's driving to catch that bad dude before he gets on the plane on the runway was some next level poo poo. I thought my head and heart were going to explode from the half second cut aways between about 4 different characters. Then I came. And I shat myself. 8/10

More action film directors need to watch Children of Men. That's handheld camera work done really well, just the right amount of shakyness but also giving a wide angle to the action rather than trying to fake intensity with quick camera cuts. PG-13 is really to blame, gently caress that rating. My dad happily took me to Starship Troopers and Gladiator when I was a kid, he didn't give a drat as long as a film wasn't full of nudity or horror. Seriously who are these sissy rear end parents that won't take their kids to R-rated films these days?

Jeremy Renner is a pretty good actor but yeah that movie sucked. The whole thing about him taking super spy pills to keep him from reverting back into a retard was so stupid. The first Taken was a way better continuation of the Bourne series and I would  whenever someone called it The Bourne Retirement.

I only saw the last 5 minutes of Taken 2 where the climactic showdown was a kung-fu fight against a fat dude in a track suit so I decided the taken movies aren't really worth watching.

Taken 2 was amusing because of Kim running around throwing explosives wherever the gently caress. Taken 3 had no such amusement.

Liam Neeson's daughter is a basic bitch in Taken 1. I wanted her to get murdered by the serbs? arabs? so he could be like 'I told you so' to his dumb ex.
