Liam Neeson takes on the law in this trailer for Taken 3

By Adam Rosenberg October 1, 2014

Liam Neeson and his particular set of skills are on the wrong side of the law in Taken 3. This first trailer for the January 9, 2015 release lays out the basic premise. Neeson’s Bryan Mills is back and he’s as angry as ever when malevolent forces start messing with his family.

You know what an angry Bryan Mills means, right? A lot of bad people are going to get shot in the face.

It looks like Mills is framed for the murder of someone close to him early on, and that lands him in the crosshairs of law enforcement. Rather than trust government officials to perform the task they’ve been trained for, Mills takes matters into his own hands. And he’s very gruff about it.

The Taken movies are always a good time, and this third one looks like it’s more of badass Liam Neeson doing badass Liam Neeson things. We can get on board with that.

A doll stares out a window in a scene from M3GAN.

When will humans stop making lifelike robots and dolls? From the T-800 in The Terminator franchise to David in Prometheus to Annabelle in The Conjuring Universe, the robots seem to always break bad more often than not and turn on their creators. The latest robot set to terrorize humans is an overprotective doll in M3GAN, the first trailer for which was released moments ago.

Gemma (Allison Williams), a gifted robotic developer, suddenly becomes the guardian of her 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw). With no parental experience, Gemma introduces Cady to M3GAN, a robotic doll programmed with artificial intelligence to bond with and care for children. Things start off well as Cady and M3GAN form an instant connection. However, M3GAN begins to strongly defend Cady and the robot resorts to violence against those who question its tactics. It's up to Gemma to shut down M3GAN or face severe casualties.
