Liam Neeson Should Have Stayed in the First Taken

Rating: 4/10 (29 January 2013)

The retired CIA agent Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) invites his teenage daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) and his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen), who has separated from her second husband, to spend a couple of days in Istanbul where he is working.
Meanwhile, the patriarch of the community of the Albanese gang of human trafficking, Murad Krasniqi (Rade Sherbedgia), seeks revenge for the death of his son and organizes another gang to kidnap Bryan and his family. Bryan and Lenore are abducted by the Albanese, but Kim escapes and is the only hope that Bryan has to escape and save Lenore. "Taken" was the best action movie of 2008 and Liam Neeseon surprised the viewer with a performance that recalled the best 007 movies. Unfortunately he should have stayed in the first movie, since this sequel is terrible.
"Taken 2" is a bad quality replay of the first movie, with an awful story. There is excessive use of clichés and in the end this movie is a complete waste of time. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "Busca Implacável 2" ("Implacable Search 2")
