After Taken 2 was easily the most disappointing thing to hit movie screens in years (Sean’s review is far too kind) and Liam Neeson came out saying he probably wouldn’t do another I was pretty happy that we wouldn’t be seeing another Taken movie. Way to crush my happiness, world. Above you’ll find the trailer for the entirely unnecessary, but awesomely titled, Tak3n.
I will say that this looks better than the second, though director Olivier Megaton is the guy who ruined the Transporter series so I don’t have that much faith. I suppose they’re at least taking it in a bit different direction and hopefully the story won’t be as terrible as the last one. The plot seems a bit more cohesive, and hopefully the action actually holds together this time. I think the most important part here is that Neeson is actually a badass, unlike the last film where he just felt old and dumb.
