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.

Taken 3 has taken everything the first two movies did and turned it into a pizza left out in the sun for three days. There are so many things wrong with this movie. The plot was crummy, the editing was atrocious, the acting felt off, the pacing was longer than needed, the CGI was laughable, and the cinematography was too bright, to the point where my eyes began to suffer.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

I wanted to like this more. Calling this a thriler is ballsey. They rfeally didn't need to make a third. The sad thing is if Liam lives long enough they will probably do a 4th in a few years...

The very poorly-edited Taken 3 squanders the potential of the franchise, abandoning its original premise in favour of a contrived and convoluted plot, leading to a disjointed and unsatisfying narrative that fails to deliver the thrilling action and emotional depth that made the first film a standout in the genre.

What gets "taken" in this movie? A life? His freedom? How about the time I took to watch it. Ever seen The Fugitive? If so… You've already seen a much better version of Taken 3 so don't bother with this one.

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.
