The third-and final-installment in the 'Taken' series, Taken 3 is as full of action and plot twists as you'd expect.
Liam Neeson reprises his role as Bryan Mills, a former operative. In this installment, Mills is framed for the murder of his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) who's married to Stuart St. John (Dougray Scott). The police nab him as the prime suspect, and arrest him. He escapes, and fights (literally) to clear his name. He's on the run not only from the police, but from a shadowy group headed by a former Russian commando. His daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) mourns the loss of her mother, but knows that her father didn't commit the murder. Mills must contend with a dogged police inspector, as well as the Russians and other foes as well.
As you'd expect with an action/thriller like Taken 3, you get fistfights, car chases, foot chases, more fistfights, explosions, shoot outs, even more fistfights, and a lot of violent deaths. For what it is, Taken 3 delivers the goods, and provides a satisfying conclusion to the Taken franchise. Liam Neeson retains his appeal amid all the carnage.
Rated PG-13 for violence, language
