    I don't know if I'll see this but this "trailer" alone is amazing:

    It comes out January 9th. Looks like fun. This series has had such unlikely popularity.

    It's not well-written or well-acted, but it has a certain set of skills...

    One of these days, bad guys will learn to stop messing with Liam Neesen and his family/friends. Looks like a fun ride, they definitely have the formula down now.

    That's one way to do a trailer.

    My favorite part is when he stops a plane from taking off by crashing his car through its nose landing gear. That is hardcore.

    I love "Taken #1". Great movie!

    "Taken #2", well, a good one but it was too many things repeated over and over again. And I'm really getting tired of those car races in every action movie.

    "Taken #3"? Why not? Can be very exciting.

    But the first movie is always the best.

    Loved Taken, second one was okay, this new one will likely be alright as well.

    And, um, excuse me, it's called Tak3n!

    Taken 4 - Someone steals his flannel shirts.
    Taken 5 - Someone steals his kidneys and he can't afford dialysis, so he's gotta go all out to get his kidneys back before toxic blood kills him.
    Taken 6 - Aliens steal the US Constitution.
    Taken 7 - Mills develops a split personality, kidnaps himself, and has to hunt himself down.
    Taken 8 - Someone stole the film so we don't even know.
    Taken 9 - Mills' daughter must find out who stole her father's body from its grave.
    Taken 10 - Someone must have kidnapped film audiences because no one saw it. :( :(

    I thought this was a joke, then saw there really is a third one.

    January 9th is the death slot of movies, the worst movies come out in the beginning on the year.

    That makes it the perfect time for a passable action thriller to clean up.

    The first two acts of Taken are outstanding. Everything else? Not so much.

    Well, to quote Martin Niemöller "First the came for my daughter, and I did... something. Then they came for my wife, and I did something else. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to come for"

    I don't have a lot of creative writing talent. What I do have, is a particular set of stories. Stories proven to be a box office draw when paired with the right star power.
