Not terrible itself, but is when compared to the first.

Rating: 6/10 (15 July 2013)

The first Taken movie is excellent in every way, it builds up to its climax nicely and the climax itself is very satisfying after all Mills goes through. Taken 2 is very rushed in that aspect. It is barely 90 minutes long and by the time Mills and his wife are taken, it seems a very short time before the credits are rolling. Some more problems I had were that it was centered around Mills and his wife being taken and not the daughter but Mills is taken for about 10 minutes and then escapes easily. His daughter was working on trying to pass her driving test back in the states after having failed it multiple times, so naturally she could drive a stick-shift like a pro huh?
I give it a 6 because it is somewhat fun to watch despite the flaws I have with it. Liam Neeson is always good and seeing him whip up on some bad guys in a foreign country is enjoyable.
Overall, 6/10.
