Well here we go again

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2012)

Liam Neeson, the estranged father ex husband secret agent must now rescue his ex wife from the clutches of a revengeful Albanian insurgent. From the first movie, Liam simply rescued his daughter from an Albanian slave trader. This time he has to go through Albania itself through the corridors and the closed in city to find Lenore who was taken along with himself by the vengeful father of Mill's first victims. Murad Krasniqi (Rade Serbedzija) is the man who had kidnapped both Bryan and Lenore to make an example out of both of them, but mostly for Bryan because he killed Murad's son. Not wanting to hear excuses about kidnapping girls and slave trade them for money, Murad just wanted Mills to suffer by any length. Yet as for mills, his resourceful prowess to escape any cell or dungeon leads him along with the help of his own daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) who helps her father with a wild car chase through Albania's capital, plus the fact to have her come up with an ingenious way to find her father during his capture. I thought this was a great film to carry on the mills tradition of kicking ass, killing the bad guys, and just trash needless terrorist cells people can do without. The action was again top notch, the music fit the scene with the kind of espionage feel to it, and the fact with his trade hand to hand fight scenes always makes for a good final point. Liam Neeson is one of my favourite actors, he can always take any role which fits his persona. And this movie was no exception. High marks on the car chase, and gun play, as well as the fact that most will go to any lengths for revenge, even if it is in the shadows of the dark and gritty underground of slave trades or illegal arms deals. I felt that through the film, there were times you could actually feel the tension build up as Mills was trying to rescue Lenore, that the Albanians would use any trick to shake him off, but alas they were wrong. If a future film was to made, it should be made based on an earlier period in his career. Where a lone wolf is waiting and biding time to strike in order to bring him down. Maybe where he and Lenore first meet, and to retire from the secret service to becoming the famed celebrity protector we all know him to be. Recommended for those over the age of seventeen.
