A pretty good movie to me.

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2015)

I thought the first Taken was a good film and I was surprised at how good this sequel was. A person could say that it was odd there was a film starring Liam Neeson called A Walk Among the Tombstones that seemed to be another film director plagiarizing the Taken films and using Liam Neeson to help achieve that objective. The sequel to Taken was-at least to me-a very watchable movie. I have heard it criticized for having yet another batch of Eastern European crooks in it but it really isn't another batch-its the same ones from the first movie-and after killing so many in the first movie it stands to reason they would be out for revenge in the sequel. It made plot sense to me.Maybe it could be criticized for being a bit formulaic but I think that is sometimes how the world is-things flow along a relatively predictable track so maybe its not so formulaic after all. All in all-it was good fun to watch with all kinds of chases and fights which is why makes these films entertain and are not philosophy classes. Looking for Franz Kafka-its not here-but thats what makes it fun to watch.
