His love for his wife and daughter.
His ability to turn just about anything into a torture equipment.
Our biggest take-away from theTakenfranchise, though, is that Mills is a man of extraordinary emotional resilience.
So were now two films into the Mills saga.
But what else have we learned from this first bit of sound and vision from returning director Olivier Megaton?
Would a monster buy his daughter a giant panda as a gift?
Would a monster take off his shades and squint at his daughter like a creepy pirate without an eye-patch?
THE PLOT
Nows probably a good time to go through the basics ofTaken 3splot.
His wife and daughter are loving and radiant, and everything seems soft-focus and perfect.
Returning home one day, Mills finds his beloved wife Lenore murdered.
Unsurprisingly, Mills is the prime suspect.
I didnt kill my wife!
I dont care, says-
Sorry, we must be getting muddled up here somewhere.
And once again, the film appears to show Bryan Mills extraordinary emotional resilience in the face of tragedy.
His loving wife lies dead in their bedroom.
And how does he express his sorrow and grief?
The only way he knows how.
Taken 3is out in UK cinemas on the 8th January 2015.
