Not bad at all...

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2013)

After reading reviews on here I must say I was expecting this movie to be quite awful, but to be honest I actually really enjoyed it! Sure it wasn't the epic blockbuster the first movie was but the majority of sequels aren't quite AS great as the original..
For me, the plot worked; it was your typical revenge movie and the guys wanting revenge are obviously the kind of people you don't want to mess with in the first place. The setting (Turkey) was perfect for this kind of movie, the scenery and settings are great and it probably is, to more of an extent than other countries in Europe, the kind of place you could get away with this kind of mayhem for a certain period of time.
As for things like the daughters driving, which many people seem to have qualms about; she is the daughter of an ex spook who was obviously very good at his job (as we found out quite rightly in 'Taken') and people do tend to perform better when placed under great deals of stress. So why is it that hard to come to grips with a scene like that in a movie such as this!?
Go into this expecting a revenge type follow up to the original movie and I'm sure you'll enjoy your 90 minutes worth of entertainment, it is a movie after all, and it definitely entertains!
