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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022

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

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 13, 2022

Liam Neeson nails action like few others.

We don't go to the Taken movies to see great art, we go to have a good time at the movies. Unfortunately, this time around, that pleasure has been "taken" from us.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 2, 2021

Rather than jumping into unexplored territory, the film retreads several other prominent action movie staples.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 4, 2020

Unfortunately, Taken 3 will be remembered as the one where Neeson just couldn't save the day.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 15, 2020

Taken 3 delivers a stimulating and different story to the franchise, but combines it with unbelievable and poorly presented action sequences (however entertaining they may be).

| Original Score: 5.9/10 | Nov 12, 2019

Taken 3 ends as it began -- another segment in a bloated, lazily drawn cash cow that offers a few laughs and high octane chases.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 18, 2019

Taken 3's inability to commit to and fully explore the significance of its leading issues leaves much of the emotional payoff uncharted and muddled in the wake of unwarranted complications.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 17, 2019

Let's face facts...we all were 'Taken' in by this pseudo punchy action yarn that no longer generates the destructive heat it once punctuated with carefree confidence.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 10, 2018

Let's face facts...we all were Taken in by this pseudo punchy action yarn that no longer generates the destructive heat it once punctuated with carefree confidence.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 10, 2018

No one gets taken. That's my beef. No one. Gets. Taken. I mean, come on.

| Nov 2, 2018

[Taken 3] is as clichéd and flawed an action vehicle as I have seen in some time, and when it came to a close I was just glad to finally see it end.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 24, 2018

A stinker.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 22, 2018

What works greatly to the movie's credit is the pacing (never a dull moment here!) and that sense of 'What's going to happen next?'

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 11, 2017

It's sad that audiences are lining up to throw money at this just a few months after largely ignoring Neeson in a pretty good crime thriller, A Walk Among the Tombstones.

| Oct 17, 2017

Please don't bother with Taken 3. There's nothing redeemable about it.

| Oct 14, 2017

Limping toward the film's climax with a bizarre underwear fight might have sealed it.

| Original Score: D | Aug 17, 2017

It's Neeson that franchise fans will come back for. And although his lethally protective father routine has run its course, it's been fun watching the old bloke make the most of it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 26, 2016

Its hilarious, mind-bendingly stupid climax is nearly worth the price of admission alone.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2016
