Not as good as the first one.

Rating: 6/10 (11 January 2014)

In Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his wife are taken hostage by the father of a kidnapper that Mills had killed in the first movie while Mills was trying to rescue his daughter.
This film lacked the thrills and suspense from the first movie, providing limited excitement and intriguing moments. What it lacks is the suspense built-up like the first movie, which we got when we see Mills going through highs and lows and twists and turns to find his daughter. This movie merely is merely a repeat of the kidnapping, but with the daughter trying to be the rescuer. However, the mission is short-lived and its results just leads to a gun fight between the good and bad guys - nothing too special.
Overall, a mediocre film. I would just stick to the original.
Grade C
