Taken 3 Movie Comparison

Taken and Taken 2 have become successful movies and earlier this year, the third installment of the series made its way into theaters. The film follows Brian Mills, portrayed by Liam Neeson, as he must once again use his particular set of skills to help his family. After the sudden death of his ex-wife, Lenore, and being framed for her death, Brian goes on the hunt for answers for as to who and why Lenore was killed while fleeing the police. While the previous films were quite successful, the same cannot be said for Taken 3. Despite the participation of talented actors, Liam Neeson and Forest Whitaker, it does not help this film with coming even close to comparing with its previous films or success. Reasons like a completely scrapped main plot,
He has been very convincing in this part as he comes up with new and unique tactics to reach his goal. His fighting is not all that bad either, but it is not the highlight of his character. In the first film, Taken, Brian finds the house where the kidnapped women are taken and decides to go there undercover. After talking with the men, he is just about to leave when he asks one of them, the real Marko, to translate a friend’s message. Upon hearing Marko, Brian realizes he is the man he spoke to on the phone and says, "You don't remember me, do you? I told you I was going to find you." That was amazing! I have never come across anything like that before in a movie. It was refreshing, to say the least. In Taken 2, he reminds audiences yet again of his abilities. When Lenore and he are captured, Brian tries to determine his location and being tied up does not stop him. He contacts his daughter, Kim, and has her throw grenades and uses the timing of the explosions to get a location. Most people probably do not even know the speed of sound by heart. Brian Mills is a guy who is supposed to be a former CIA operative and he has lived up to that name in the first two Taken films. However, the third film does not. There is not even a moment that comes to mind where Brian reminds the audience
The role did not match an actor of his skills and is more purposeless than not. The most noticeable thing about Dotzier are these random actions he displays throughout the film. Two of which are messing with a chess piece and playing with a rubber band. By the end of the film, neither one of these prove a purpose for the character. The only one that does have a purpose is his bagel obsession. At the end of the movie, Franck tells Brian that he knew he was innocent because when Lenore was killed, the bagels in his apartment were still warm. This is one of the only two times where Inspector Franck Dotzier has proven his worth. The second time is at the beginning of the film when Brian is caught with Lenore’s body. Brian makes a run for it and has cops on his tail. Eventually, he escapes when he gets to a garage and finds a passage to the sewers under a truck. While other policeman are baffled at his escape, Dotzier quickly solves the puzzle and he, too, finds the passageway that his men have missed. Out of a movie that lasts an hour and forty-nine minutes, this man proves his usefulness only twice. Which is a bit of a disappointment from an actor like Forest Whitaker. There was so much hope for his participation in Taken 3, but it just did not have the outcome people may have
