'Taken 3' Plot: Complicated Plot Caused Franchise To End Poorly

"Taken 3" Plot - There's much to be said about the third instalment of the "Taken" series. While the film might have garnered more than $30 million during its box office opening on the weekend, a lot of critics have slammed the film for its poor plot and complicated camera works.

The "Taken 3" plot takes fans to a rollercoaster ride where Liam Neeson's character is framed for the murder of his wife. In the third and final instalment of the film, Neeson uses his particular set of skills to hunt down his wife's true killer and protect his daughter as well.

Joining in on the last instalment of the film is Forest Whitaker, who plays the FBI agent Dotzler, in charge of tracking down and arresting Neeson. Despite the new additions, film critics have called the "Taken 3" plot as seemingly boring and written poorly.

Roger Ebert added that the "Taken 3" plot tried too hard, especially with the action scenes. Other reviews regarding the action scenes were said to be Olivier Megaton's mistake. The director's cinematography with the film was completely out of context, causing nauseating scenes. With quick pans, swift zooms, and shaky camera cuts, it's hard to focus on one scene entirely.

Rather than talk about the "Taken 3" plot, worth mentioning is Maggie Grace's revealing interview with Conan. Neeson's daughter on screen shared what it was like to work with him. Grace added that Neeson was definitely the kind of father any daughter would want to have.

Taking cue from his character Brian Mills, Neeson decided to play a revenge prank on Grace's ex-boyfriend. Grace recorded it all for the laughs of which was also played on her interview with "Conan." Check out the recording here. This revenge prank could have been added as quick joke for "Taken 3" plot.
