Nothing about the show matches expectations, making it a confounding (and largely boring) viewing experience. While the target audience will probably dig the extensive action sequences and vivid violence, there's no reason anyone else should be "Taken" for a ride. It's been made pretty ordinary.
First thing to say is, this is a great and fun movie from beginning to end. If you like the Bourne titles then you will love this movie. The fighting style and the way things get done is similar to Matt Damon's character and it doesn't get old and is interesting and great to watch throughout the whole film.
Mostly, Taken 2 is a violent but not-too-bloody popcorn movie, unambitious but well-made and moderately entertaining. I liked every minute. Don't expect Shindler's List, expect Taken 2 and you won't be disappointed.
Much of what occurs in Liam Neeson thriller Taken is incredibly implausible, but with suspension of disbelief turned up to eleven, the film proves to be an extremely satisfying viewing experience—a brutal action flick that effectively exploits that most basic of human emotions: the desire to see the wicked punished.
Taken is an action-thriller television series based on the Taken film series. It is an origin story for Bryan Mills (Clive Standen), the character played by Liam Neeson in the trilogy. The series was commissioned with a straight-to-series-order in September 2015 and premiered on February 27, 2017, on NBC.
So when the two are compared, it's tough to really enjoy “Taken 2.” The sequel doesn't shine as brightly when considering how well the first one was made. When you remember all those moments that made your stomach drop, the sequel just looks ordinary. Don't fret, though, it's still a good film.
Taken 3 is a step down from Taken 2, itself a lesser film than the original. But that is to be expected and forgiven. The title could be considered an unimaginative misnomer, but it makes marketing sense.
Released on 3 October 2012 in France by EuropaCorp and 5 October 2012 in the United States by 20th Century Fox, the film grossed over $376 million at the box office, but received mixed reviews from critics.
Stuart confesses that his former business partner and ex-Russian Spetsnaz operator, Oleg Malankov, murdered Lenore because Stuart owes him money; Stuart exposed Bryan's identity to Malankov out of jealousy.
Taken almost perfectly portrays what sex trafficking looks like in all its stages. If you want a visual understand on how it works, this movie is highly recommended. The movie starts with girls of the typical qualities that trafficking occurs on.
The good news is “Taken 3” is better than the last film, but not by a wide margin. The movie spends more time on silly and predictable plot twists than relishing the minor joy of watching this actor kick butt. Liam Neeson nails action like few others.
Parents need to know that Taken 3 is star Liam Neeson's "threequel" to the successful Taken and Taken 2. The violence is mainly bloodless, but there's a lot of it, including tons of shooting, fighting, guns, chasing, smashing cars, and explosions, plus some torture and war flashbacks.
Parents need to know that this "hard PG-13" thriller seems just a drop of blood or two away from an R rating. Not only is there a great deal of violence, but a disturbing subplot centers on young women being kidnapped into the seedy world of sex slavery. The themes of revenge, vigilantism, sex and drug trafficking,…
It is the sequel to the 2012 film Taken 2 and the third and final film in the Taken film trilogy. The film stars Liam Neeson, Forest Whitaker, Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen. The film was released on January 9, 2015.
The editing is atrocious, you can't see anything during the action scenes. Moves and hits are usually lost and you can't see who is hitting who, where, how. If you think Taken 2 was bad, this movie takes the spot at clearly trying to do the worst to suck badly.
Taken 3. Lenore ultimately meets her death as she is abducted at a gas station by unknown assailants. The assailants take her to Bryan's apartment and murder her. Bryan is later framed for her murder and is now on the run from authorities, while hoping to track down the actual killers.
Bryan then abducts and interrogates Stuart, who confesses his failure to repay a debt to a former business partner and ex-Spetsnaz operative named Oleg Malankov (Sam Spruell), was the reason Lenore was killed and he exposed Bryan's identity to Malankov out of jealousy.
The actor initially earned $5 million for the first movie. His role increased, and so did the salary, after its massive success at the Box Office. He earned $15 million and $20 million from 'Taken 2' and 'Taken 3' respectively. His total earning from the franchise was $40 million.
Liam Neeson has stated that there will not be a Taken 4 movie, and no news has surfaced to indicate otherwise. The possibility for a Taken 4 story is wide open, as the series is flexible and can go in different directions.
Taken 2 is the sequel to Taken (2008), which was based an original script by French filmmaker Luc Besson and American screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen who also wrote the screenplay for Taken 2.
The first movie of the Taken series was a hit. The sequel, “Taken 2”, followed up on the first's plot. The third film, however, has a completely new storyline. Bryan Mills and his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Jenssen) begin to rekindle their relationship as her marriage with Stuart St.
