Story: in Taken Former government agent Bryan Mills has retired and attempts to reassemble his old life, after years of overseas employment have left him estranged from his teenage daughter. But when she is kidnapped while in Europe, Bryan must revert to his old skill set to rescue her before she disappears forever. Now A year after the events in Paris in Taken, on a trip to Istanbul, Bryan Mills (Neeson) gets a surprise visit from his daughter, Kim (Grace), and his ex-wife, Lenore (Janssen). The happy reunion turns sour when Lenore is taken by people working for Murad Hoxha (Šerbedžija), the employer of the men working in the Paris building where Kim's friend, Amanda, was found dead and the father of Marko Hoxha, whom Bryan killed in the previous film. With Lenore held hostage and Kim on the run, Bryan must utilize all his lethal skills to rescue them and eliminate any who are seeking revenge against him.
Likes : watching taken 2 was a good film,.It some good fight scenes, car chases,sightly a little predictable in places. Liam Neeson fantastic actor reprise's the role as the former government agent Bryan mills who killed the son of a Russian mafia boss with you can see clearly why he wants revenge on Neeson character, also reprising the role of his daughter the beautiful Maggie Grace who plays Kim who is struggling to have a normal life after what happened to her in the first film only to be throw in the mix of it all again you kind of start feeling sorry for her character but she then starts holding her own in the film.Famke Janssen reprises her role as well as the mother of Kim who is in the middle of a separation with her new husband or boyfriend ends up this time being drag in the middle of this revenge plot.Rade Serbedzija (stars in batman begins cameo) plays the mafia boss Murad Krasniqi who wants Bryan to stand trail in his country for killing his son & the other sons of his family from the first film,but he did count on the fact he mess with the wrong Peron to go after. Along with gun fights & some good scene with the classic one line neeson say "what i do best" it makes for a good film to watch.
Dislike: There is a few pointers which i can mention the back window of the taxi they were driver was shot out, why the hell was he shooting out the window for when he could of shot through the completely smash window, the other thing i did see was a movie mistake the window of the taxi was shot out,but moment later you could see the window want shot out like it had been replace while driving. This film was good but unfortunately it lacked that edginess that the first one had & the action there was a little action in this sequel of taken 2 that taken had that made this film brilliant, it what i think slightly let the film down just due to the fact of lack of action like the first one, for me the first fim was so much better.
Overall : Not a bad film, the first film was better but this was enjoyable to watch.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 for entertainment / 6 out of 10 for storyline & action.
