Review of Taken 2 (2012) by Tyler F — 11 Oct 2013
This is more than disappointing...talk about lack of effort...I still like Neeson and he does his usual ass-kickery, but the dialogue is so bad, the fight scenes are too choppy, and the badguys (save 1) have almost no balls.
The chase scenes were OK, but I have to wonder, how a girl who can't get her license in California can suddenly drive like a badass in the tiny streets of Istanbul (on a Stick shift no less!). Also, the big action pieces were lifted from other, better movies: (Bourne, James Bond).
The special features also show that they were so lazy with the original cut, they had to reshoot the entire ending because it was too stupid for audiences to take. Miss this, and just watch the original again.
Sad, because I really wanted this to be good.
