In some ways, Taken became the little franchise that could. Kicking off in 2009, it was marketed and released as a fairly mid-level actioner with few ambitions other than to not lose money. Its Us theatrical release only happened because of the weird pop-culture zeitgeist it captured where people were excited about Oscar Schindler punching Eastern Europeans out of existence. The sequel came and made even more money with its 12a rating proving controversial but meeting distributor Twentieth Century Fox’s aim of making a massive haul of cash, taking over £20 million at the UK box office alone. Liam Neeson and previous instalment director Oliver Megaton are back with another chilling look at...

Dischord
Opens Friday, Feb. 28
The cliches gather faster than the Cape Cod mists in "Dischord" (sic), an atmospheric but insufferably soapy drama that asks the question: Can a pair of creatively stifled married musicians find harmony in an isolated cabin, especially with the unexpected arrival of the husband's estranged, psychotic brother?
Directed, written, edited and produced by award-winning short-film maker Mark Wilkinson, the no-budget picture scrapes together some effectively moody production value for the money, but it can never get past the musty story line and secondhand dialogue.
Meet Gypsy (Annunziata Gianzero), a lovely looking alt-rock violinist who hangs up her bow and goes AWOL on the eve of a world tour. Jaded by the nasty commercialism that has tainted the purity of her best musical intentions, she flees with her New Age composer husband Lucian (Andrew Borba) to his remote, off-season Cape Cod cabin, where she hopes to get back in touch with her inner gypsy.
As if the egotistical Lucian isn't having enough trouble trying to write a follow-up to a hit CD that prominently featured his wife's input, he also has to contend with a strained visit from his long-lost, tormented brother, Jimmy Thomas Jay Ryan), who shows up at the cabin fresh from having just beaten his girlfriend to death and dumping her in the river.
By showing this sordid bit of business at the beginning of the film, Wilkinson has robbed it of a valuable is-he-or-isn't-he (a psycho murderer) tension. Instead, he tosses in a less effective ticking-bomb element in the form of a retired detective (Dick Bakalyan) who picks up Jimmy's trail and will hopefully get to him before he kills again.
Even without that element of mystery, "Dischord" puts a strain on viewer involvement with the kind of bland, two-dimensional lead characters who are known to spill their guts out to dippy, all-seeing beachcombers while expressing the desire to be able to fly and dream again.
It's a shame they didn't have more interesting things to say and do, because cinematographer Ernst Kubitza managed to convincingly evoke that restless New England winter gloom despite the considerable time and budget constrictions, while John McCarthy's nicely subdued score compensates for some of the script's shriller passages.
