Review of Taken 2 (2012) by Nicole G — 29 Mar 2014
A decent though completely ridiculous sequel concerning a retired CIA agent (Liam Neeson) and how he and his wife are taken hostage by the father of the men he killed when rescuing his daughter from sex slave traders in France.
Neeson, as always, is fantastic to watch and completely likable, and even though the story takes some ridiculous liberties, this is an action movie at the end of the day. It does not pretend to break the mold, rather to offer a competent sequel to fans that enjoyed the first movie so much.
It does not quite reach that status, there are some points when this movie is completely laughable, but it is still largely entertaining and enjoyable.
