Taken 2

 

Liam Neeson returns as Bryan Mills, the retired CIA agent with a particular set of skills who stopped at nothing to save his daughter Kim from Albanian kidnappers. When the father of one of the kidnappers swears revenge and takes Bryan and his wife hostage during their family vacation in Istanbul, Bryan enlists Kim to help them escape, and uses the same advanced level of special forces tactics to get his family to safety and systematically take out the kidnappers one by one.

It is hard to believe how God awful this movie was.  The first one was a great paced, simple story bada$$ movie.  How could they manage to screw up the simplest sequel in the world to make like this?  Answer - push way too much of the wife and the daughter and tone it down for a PG-13 rating.  All enjoyment was pretty much non-existent in this and a barely 90 minute movie seemed like forever long.

I would absolutely not recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's pretty much a big giant turd and easily one of the most disappointing movies to come out this year.
