Taken 2 is the sequel to the successful Taken film, sees a similar rehashed story, though set in a different location. Into the film and for reasons that don't deliver, Bryan (Liam Neeson), daughter Kim (Maggie Grace), and ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) who's facing a divorce from her current husband, are all in Istanbul to have a good time and unwind from the trauma of Kim's kidnapping. Taken 2 appears to take its time getting to the action, dithering away an inordinate amount of time on Lenore's crumbling marriage, her astonishingly good relationship with Bryan, and Bryan's notification that Kim has a boyfriend. The film's action sequences are wide and thin and the camera is noticeably shaky in many of the scenes. The plot isn't too much, nor is it all that interesting. Predictable in the least. Overall, Taken 2 does deliver in some ways but in general, the film is quite boring and not too entertaining. Though it isn't too long, which is a plus.

Taken hostage in Istanbul by the Albanians whose relatives he mercilessly murdered in 'Taken', ex-CIA agent Bryan Mills has to rely on his daughter to rescue him in this action-packed sequel to the 2008 hit film. 'Taken 2' pushes the boundaries of credibility at many points (Neeson triangulating various locations) and it is not quite as well-paced as the first entry with half an hour of exposition before the action truly ignites, however, it is not a worthless sequel by any stretch of the imagination. The writers build up rapport between Liam Neeson and Maggie Grace as estranged father and daughter very well, and there is something quite amusing in how she does eventually get a long awaited real driving lesson from him late in the piece. The film's attempt to reverse the formula of the first film works surprisingly well too as she follows instructions from Neeson via cellular phone of how to rescue him. 'Taken 2' also acknowledges Neeson's callousness for the first time, and how with the Albanians he "killed them all like they were so many nothings" - a refreshing moral stance almost completely absence from the original film. The script is far from perfect though with the sudden reconciliation between Famke Janssen and Neeson seeming like a mere plot device, not to mention many improbabilities, but it is a surprisingly gripping watch and Neeson is as sympathetic as ever as a man out to protect his family whatever the cost. 'Taken 2' is may not necessarily be a superior motion picture to Part One, but it is a lot more interesting than one might expect.

I watched "Taken 2" last night and I was bit surprised that the film was not upto the mark as the first one was.... it was incredible but this one was a bit disappointment!!!!!The film not delivered the thrilling experience as the first one did and this time the action was not shown only brains and plans are shown which will be difficult for many to digest but it's still good at its place I will honour it as a good film though I liked the first one most!!!!!!Liam Neeson was again good but not perfect like the first one and the acting also went down the actors didn't acted good like the first one.... the action was OK but planning was good....Total my rating 1 (for not giving excitement like 1st)-1 (for less action and bit less acting)Thus, My rating:- 8/10

After reviewing other reviews I am left thinking what do I see and enjoy on this movie, Taken 2 that is the first of the series I have seen. I thought it was great and like any movie the location is never spot on, and that's what makes it even more enjoyable and fun to watch.I thought Liam Neeson and Kim did a fantastic job. Well done. Now I want to see taken 1 and hope there might be further movies.I'm not sure what others see to say it was nothing but a comical movie filled with laughter.I also think the goofs adds to the movie and it makes it much better for a first time viewer.It's a movie I would highly recommend for many. And I know many who don't have their drivers license that would drive automatic, who hop right in and know how to drive a stick shift more than anything.Love the ending where their having Sundaes and Jamie joins them. It was a movie filled with lots of action; heck when it gains my attention as people try to text and chat with me on facebook it must be good.When's the next one coming out?
