Thoughts;

I liked the first movie, the 2^nd move was just ok. I expected this movie to be the same story line, someone is taken, Liam Neeson kicks ass and finds them. It wasn’t. This was a movie with the same characters around the same family who several years later has put everything that happened in the first two movies behind them.

I very much liked that the main characters were played by the same people, sometimes they will switch people out, this made it seem more “real”.

I knew based on the previews that Famke Janssen’s character was going to be killed, what I did not expect was the framing of Bryan Mills. I expected it to be a “My x-wife was killed and I’m going to solve this murder” type of plot, he was actually framed for it and proves that he is still pretty bad ass as an old man.

If you like action movie, check this one out, it was pretty good
