Time Out London
Taken 3 scores over its predecessor on almost every level: the stakes are higher, the LA locations are nicely photographed and, best of all, there’s an actual plot, with twists and everything. - 50
ReelViews
Taken 3 is exactly what one might anticipate from an unnecessary sequel in a mediocre franchise. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Replacing the first two films' simplistic, man-on-the-run premise with a stuttering plot comparatively light on action and stuffed with red herrings and inconsequential characters... Besson's team has signed off the trilogy with a whimper rather than the kind of unfettered bang delivered by the first two films. - 40
Empire
Megaton’s choppy editing barely disguises his star’s hatred of running, while a brutal 12A neutering lessens what limited fun remains in seeing Oscar Schindler creakily throw a Russian bad ‘un into some supermarket shelves. - 40
Total Film
Liam Neeson cuts a rather sorry figure in what’s less a final flourish for the series than a prolonged death rattle. - 38
RogerEbert.com
It's just a frantic, flash-cutting frenzy. Even the slower, more intimate family scenes feature so many swooping-up-from-below shots and so many sudden inserts that moments (emotional or physical) are never given a chance to land. - 30
Variety
A mind-numbing, crash-bang misfire that abandons chic European capitals for the character’s own backyard. - 20
The Telegraph
Each individual moment in the film barely seems to be on speaking terms with the rest.
