Taken 2 review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 10/18/12
Bryan Mills (Neeson) brings Kim (Grace) and Lenore (Janssen) to Instanbul. The parents of Kim get abducted, then after Bryan escapes he finds Lenore. A huge departure from the original installment since this had a coyish screenplay and a slow start for its genre. It was funny that the abductors didn't do anything when they heard Bryan on the phone and how amazing a driver Kim was. The product place of Mercedes was overly emphasized during the car chase. It likewise lacks an interesting and gruesome antagonist. Good points for the soundtrack and somewhat lacking action, which focused more on the father daughter relationship. Action fans will be disappointed with Taken 2 since there was less fight scenes and lack of innovative ideas for this lackluster sequel. A lousy picture of revenge from the enemy and protecting loved ones.
