If clinical trials go well and the Food and Drug Administration approves it, the drug could be distributed across the U.S. And at the end of the day, the Hollywood depiction of true love is fundamentally, always lacking in that regard.Protease inhibitors are used to treat other viral pathogens such as HIV and hepatitis C. God’s love, on the other hand, is indiscriminate of relations, perfect, and always unconditional. No doubt Mills loved his daughter, but his love was limited, flawed, and conditional. He finds them so as to save them (Luke 19:10). Movie: Mills did not forgive those who hurt and killed his family and promised to find them and kill them.īible: Jesus forgives all sinners, regardless of the gravity of their sins, as long as they repent (John 3:16).

The viewer cannot help but root for him, regardless of what he does (which happens to include hijacking police cars, threatening innocent individuals, obstructing justice, killing people, exploding buildings, to name a few).Īs givers and recipients of love ourselves, it might be a useful exercise to see how Mills’ love stacks up against the ultimate standard of love that we’re familiar with-our heavenly Father’s.ġ. Neeson’s portrayal of the sacrificial father who would put himself in harm’s way, time and time again, out of love for his family is compelling and convincing. That, I believe, is the unique and successful formula that makes the Taken “trilogy” such a hit (despite its occasional cringe-worthy lines). There’s nothing mind-blowing in its approach and ending but Taken fans (myself included) will be satisfied by the result, because ultimately, Neeson can do no wrong as the devoted father who would go to the end of the earth to protect his family. True to the minimum requirements of an action genre, Taken 3 is an exhilarating and adrenaline-pumping exploit which sees Mills taking the law into his own hands (once again) in his endeavor to find out who murdered his ex-wife, clear his name, and protect his one and only daughter.ĭespite being a departure from previous storylines where his family escapes unscathed by the end of the show, Taken 3 rides on a tried and tested formula of intense action sequences complete with highway chases, carjacking escapades, and even a questionable waterboarding scene.

Life takes a sharp turn for the worse when Mills is suddenly framed for mysterious murder of his ex-wife and becomes the fugitive himself. Life has finally settled to a state of normalcy, or so it seems. Since our last encounter with Mills (played by Liam Neeson) in Taken 2, he is still the true family man, fiercely protective over his little girl (who isn’t so little anymore) and unflagging in his devotion to his ex-wife (who’s constantly facing marital problems). It’s the third instalment of the popular franchise and little seems to have changed for our protagonist-ex- CIA agent Bryan Mills.
