Great But Nothing Much New Here

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2012)

Just came back from watching 'Taken 2' and I'm veryglad that I decided to go and watch it. Liam Neeson is as tough as ever as Bryan Mills and he made Jason Bourne and James Bond look like amateurs in comparison
I think this sequel is better than the first film but in a way this time, you might feel a bit sorry for the antagonist characters and can't blame them for having to want some revenge. It was also great to Famke Janssen getting more screen time in this film compared to the first one. Maggie Grace was stunningly beautiful and hot as ever in role as Kim Mills. I was a bit surprised with her character though when they turned her into a toughy in this one
My only disappointment was that I wanted to see Sam, Casey and Bernie get more screen time in here as well but I guess, time is limited for all of that. Overall, an improvement over the first film that in my opinion leaves you asking yourself who do you feel more sorry for between Bryan Mills or the Albanians but other than that, nothing much original in this film when compared to the first one
