Taken 3

Clam's Grade:  B-


I hate to see the day when people in film run out of ideas for amazing and impossible stunts for people to do. Even though it is common knowledge that Liam Neeson is actual superhuman in life - give the poor guy a break. But seriously, don't we all wish we had a dad like him? It is really hard to say much about this action film, we all know what we are getting into with a Liam Neeson movie - he has a specific set of skills and he is going to use them. Sure, the film in entertaining - a wonderful escape from reality, but it's not the greatest action movie ever. The only reason to view this in a theater is the fact that the sound really makes the experience (as opposed to my tiny TV and little speakers). So, if you love action films, crazy stunts and Liam Neeson using his set of skills amazingly, as always - then let me at least suggest a matinee.
