Good, but cannot outperform the first movie

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2012)

Just watched Taken 2. Overall, it was a fast paced action movie again! Liam Neeson acting was again superb as the CIA retiree Bryan Mills. Maggie Grace as Kim the daughter plays significant role in the movie, while Famkee Jansen as her ex-wife is fantastic. The movie has enough action and suspense to keep you on the edge of the seat. The ending was satisfying enough. The minus points are, unlike its predecessor, the total body count is significantly fewer, and the kidnapping is way too easy, Mills does not have to crack his head to find his kidnapper like in the first movie. But rest assured, Mills has plenty of cards up his sleeve to keep you amazed till the end.
Final Verdict: 8/10. The movie is great, but it (in my opinion) cannot surpass the level the first movie has set. A must see.
