The Producer should have been taken!

Rating: 3/10 (10 March 2013)

Wow, what a wasted opportunity. I had some expectations that this would be an OK movie given that the first one was reasonable entertainment. Some of the other reviews have already captured the many WTF moments in this story. Despite the slow build up that included a 'Dad the stalker' scene where he tracks down his daughter's new boyfriend's house and takes her away for a driving lesson. Now call me crazy, but most late teenage daughters would not take kindly to this WTF #1. But all is fine after 5 minutes of driving. Fast forward to Istanbul which according to the cars has been locked in a 70's time warp WTF #2. Next, they get captured after Liam beats the crap out of the goon squad, his wholesome daughter meanwhile is back at the hotel pool killing time.
Fast forward to Liam using his spy phone while his guard is outside of the cell fascinated by a metal thing that looks like a gun. He instructs his daughter to get his carry on baggage out of his room and grab some grenades (I always pack grenades when I travel) then go outside an throw a couple around WTF #3 it must be common place in Istanbul, to have grenades showering down on the populace. By now you would have read other reviews where the daughter drives a manual taxi like Ken Block through the city and then her dear old Dad shoots the chief of police and we then assume that American Embassy got him off this minor offense because Liam is back on the streets the same day.WTF #4, you know what, I can't write anymore, it's too depressing.
Please, please don't make Taken 3.
