Ex-covert operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) and his ex-wife, Lenore (Famke Janssen), are enjoying a reconciliation when Lenore is brutally murdered. Bryan is framed for the crime and flees, with the CIA, FBI and police all in hot pursuit. For the last time, he channels his rage and particular set of skills into hunting down Lenore's real killers, taking his revenge and protecting the one important thing left in his life: his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace).

Critics Consensus

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.

Chicago Reader

Forest Whitaker turns in one of his sleepiest performances; no one else seems to be trying very hard either, yet director Olivier Megaton delivers some good chases, fist fights, and shots of Neeson looking glum.

A movie that thinks the way to earn our knuckle-biting is to be as dull as hell for 35 minutes, then send a giant shipping container hurtling along the interstate. But you yawn through that, too.

The Age (Australia)

There's something sluggishly formulaic about the rollout of smackdowns, chase scenes and general mayhem involving wrecked cars. And a plot point involving warm bagels is downright ludicrous.

Rated: 2/5

The good news is “Taken 3” is better than the last film, but not by a wide margin.

Rated: 2.5/5

Deep Focus Review

The movie spends more time on silly and predictable plot twists than relishing the minor joy of watching this actor kick butt.

Rated: 1/4

Liam Neeson rocks. Another typical Taken movie......with lots of action, good effects, and revenge killing.

Es buena pero sin duda decae mucho, está entretenida pero aburrida, me gustó que al final era Stuart la mente detrás de todo.

Personally, I felt like this was the best out of Taken trilogy. It was the most fun, but it could have benefited from not having to adhere to the rules of being PG-13.
