Saves Itself From The Sequel Jinx. â™¦ 55%

Rating: 6/10 (22 September 2013)

Wonder why it didn't give into the jinx. There are lots of reasons why Taken 2 is not an inch near Taken, but if we look at it individually, it is not that bad either. At least, it isn't worth all the rants.
Liam Neeson himself confesses he is getting tired of it all and it seems true with his lousy air.Women in here are terrific actors. Although the plot slips into unbelievability lots of times, it does give out something called as "lukewarm entertainment." Locations are good, chases are good, action sequences are good & most of all, the dialogs are still pretty fine for a sequel.
Since it doesn't have a single surprise event & all can be easily predicted from the start, Taken 2 doesn't live up to the expectation. And I hear it worked well at the BO and chances are Taken 3 will be in the same line. All I can say is Taken was a brilliant thriller and we shouldn't attach the sequels to it. Period.
BOTTOM LINE: Fairly Recommended for people who are following the series. Others can give it a skip.
