I can see how ppl can complain about it being Taken and nobody was "taken" in this one BUT they would be wrong

Liam got his freedom taken away from him when he became a murder suspect, and Famke got her life taken away from her... Actually she WAS taken before that happened BUT we and the ppl in the movie don't find that out til afterwards on the surveillance cam

Appearantly Liam said that the only way he would do a 3rd one was if no one gets taken in it cause he thought it would be silly repeating the plot

Nobody reads books anymore! Movies are always better, especially sequels 

I think that's too much of a stretch. I do understand it's just a franchise name and it just needs to show Liam Neeson going on a rampage and promising to find and kill someone to qualify

reply

Exactly.

I figured the only reason we saw Lenore being grabbed and driven off in a van was so they could justify still calling it "Taken". They honestly could have skipped all that, because her being murdered by a mysterious someone and left in Brian's apartment really didn't require a backstory of how she got there.

Did they ever establish why she was at that gas station "in the middle of nowhere" when she got grabbed? The plot was so muddled I missed the explanation for that, assuming there was one.

reply

When Stuart came by Bryan's, he used Bryan's phone to send Lenore a text asking her to meet there and then deleted the text. And I guess apparently Lenore didn't even bother responding or questioning why they would meet at a gas station 'in the middle of nowhere' and went there.

reply

Ah, that's right. I remembered something about Stuart sneaking out a text from Bryan's phone, but the connection between those two things got lost in the garbled plot. Somewhere around the time it was revealed that the scary Russian gangster Stuart owed money to (and was terrified of) was somehow willing to be his patsy and do his dirty work for him.

There sure was a lot of stuff in this film that didn't make sense.

The surveillance video of her kidnapping played a role in convincing the main cop that Brian wasn't her murderer.

Why was there no Hangover in Hangover 3?

reply

Why wasn't Meet the Fockers called Meet the Parents 2?

Ow, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

reply

We were TAKEN as fools by watching this movie?

reply

I just watched this (i kept putting off watching it)(maybe I should have continued putting it off).

To keep this thread alive, I would say that it is called Taken:

Because two hours of your life were Taken that you'll never get back again
