Taken (2009)
Taken 2 (2012)
Taken 3 (2014)
The three movies remind me of the first 3 Die hard movies. The first one is good. The second one is a much poorer attempt of the first and the third has nothing to do with the first two movies.
Die Hard and Die Hard 2 are based on confined spaces (tower building and airplane) Taken 1 and 2 are about kidnapping.
Where Die Hard 3 (a rejected Lethal Weapon 3 script) was more of a 'buddy' movie, Taken 3 turns into a Fugitive/US Marshalls movie. Both third installments are out of place.
And like the Die Hard series part 2 and 3 are not in the same league as it's original.
Taken 7/10
Taken 2 get a 5.5/10
Taken 3 also a 5.5/10
