A solid sequel

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2019)

I liked this movie. I liked the original Taken as well. Liam Neeson seems to play the same character in a lot of movies and his character has not grown or developed much here from Taken 1. I liked his supporting cast primarily with his daughter. His wife's character exists mainly to be in peril and to mess things up for him.
This movie did not stretch reality as much as the first with the geography involved. It does a nice job of providing insight on how the lead character can track down the villains so easily. The big problems were with a couple of plot devices like throwing grenades in a city to judge distance and a crazy car chase with a beginner driver.
Still, this was an enjoyable movie.
