TAKEN 2

Liam Neeson returns in the sequal to 2009's hit Taken in Taken 2. The film is set a year after the first and Bryan (Neeson) is still very protective of his daughter after being Taken in the first film. At the start of the film we see that the families of the people he killed want him dead and plan to take him and his family and kill them.

 

The main story is set in Instanbul where Neeson's character is working and when his family come out for a holiday it suddenly turns into action and they must run to escape the people who are after them.  Bryan and his wife are taken and it is up to his daughter to save them. It is a race against time to save them and then Neeson does what he does best as the action hero and fights and kills the people who are after him for trying to attack him and his family.

The film is much like the first with fight scenes and chases but it seems to be dummbed down a bit with its 12A rating with many parts of the film being chopped and changed quickly at certain points. 

It is a decent follow up to the first Taken film with great fight scenes and Neeson back as the lead but i think it was real let down with the 12A rating as if it was more aimed at teenagers rather than adults. it is a better sequal than most other films though.

 

I would go see it again.
