Los Angeles, Sep 25 (IANS) Actor Liam Neeson, who reprises his role as retired CIA agent Bryan Mills in the third instalment of “Taken”, says this will be the final instalment of the series.

“I have to go on the run, I’ll put it that way, from the not-so-lawful types and the lawful authorities,” contactmusic.com quoted Neeson as saying.

“Bryan Mills (his character) served his country faithfully, but now even they are after him. They must not like me,” he added.

The first instalment of “Taken” starring Neeson came in 2008. What on the face of it appeared a formulaic thriller about a man travelling through Europe to find his kidnapped daughter became a blockbuster that spawned a sequel in 2012.

Nevertheless, Neeson is confident that the coming movie will be his final outing as Mills.

“It’s a rollicking good story. But I think this is the end,” he said.
