Review Taken 3
Having watched the latest Taken movie last night I thought I would never watch it because I've never seen Taken and Taken 2 but I didn't dissapointed.
Bryan Mills (Neeson) is struggling to reconnect to his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace), now grown up and secretly pregnant to her boyfriend. Bryan is also rekindling his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen), unhappily married to Stuart (Dougray Scott), but he won't move until they're separated. After buying some bagels (important) Bryan returns to his flat and finds Lenore has been murdered. The police arrive immediately and prepare to arrest him for the murder. He escapes arrest and sets off to find who killed his wife and framed him. Dotzler (Forest Whitaker) is the inspector chasing him, and comes to the Sherlock-like conclusion Bryan might be innocent after all.
What works greatly to the movie's credit is the pacing (never a dull moment here!) and that sense of 'What's going to happen next?' Mills and his group of friends rely heavily on technology to stay ahead of the cops as well as to nab the bad guys. Dotzler and team try to predict what Mills will do next. Spruell's don Malankov, suitably debauched and with a Spetsnaz background, is as nasty and cold-hearted as they come. But Grace's Kim is really the most riveting.
Summary: good action film, worth watching.
