13 Upcoming Movies That Could Score 0% On Rotten Tomatoes

12. Taken 3

The Pitch: Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) is back once again when he's accused of a murder "that hits close to home" (probably his wife, played by Famke Janssen), with police officer Franck Dotzler (Forest Whitaker) looking to bring him down. Mills must prove his innocence before it's too late. Why It Could Score 0%: Because everyone hated Taken 2 (21%) compared to the original film (58%), but at least that movie had someone being taken in it. Liam Neeson has confirmed that nobody gets taken in this third movie, which begs the question: why bother making it in the first place? Though Neeson's charm in these action roles is normally enough for a movie to skate by, critics are going to have a firm argument on their hands that Taken 3 is cynical cash-grabbing at its worst. While re-jigging the formula could reinvigorate the series, don't count on it. Release Date: January 8th, 2015 (UK), January 9th, 2015 (US)
