Film ● Mini-Review: The Marksman
It is not a shoot ’em up. Either way, could use more action and plotting lacks refinement.

Film ● Review: Blacklight
Tries to be some sort of action-thriller but fails. Too many conveniences and inconsistencies. Can skip.

Film Review: Taken
One expects this to be a short, no-brainer, action-packed, light entertainment. And that’s what it mostly is.

Film ● Mini-Review: Cold Pursuit
Not a Taken clone but rather a vigilante-revenge black comedy. Enjoyable and recommended.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Commuter
Not intended to be a shoot ’em up but rather a mystery-thriller. Starts off a little trippy but becomes a little too predictable.

Film ● Mini-Review: Taken 3
It is well-produced but is not particularly memorable. The first film is the best and the most satisfying.

Film ● Mini-Review: A Walk Among the Tombstones
Slow and uneventful, even for noir. The plotting and pacing could use some improvement.

Film ● Mini-Review: Non-Stop
It’s not quite Taken the Whole Plane and it’s a better film than the trailer suggests. Just don’t expect it to be great.

Starts off strongly and it is intriguing as a psychological thriller. Overall, not particularly memorable.

Film ● Mini-Review: Taken
Decent action film with good pacing. Also nicely shot and edited with good sound. No surprise that it has spurred clones and derivatives.
