Sell out for larger audience

Rating: 6/10 (15 October 2012)

To ensure a larger audience they opted for a 12A rating which means the film lost its gore and brutality. The storyline is perfect and well written but the darkness of reality is what made the first film popular as it showed a man which we thought to be out of the game preform brutal acts and killings to save his daughter. Taken 2 however leaves the watcher to imagine what acts take place as the camera diverts away from kills, and with a scene showing Liam Nilsen as a one man army it turns into nothing more than a cartoon fight with loud sounds but nothing to see. It was clear that the film involved a lot of editing to make it age appropriate and in some places they tried too hard and so you are left assuming what happened.
