Best way to think about this movie is this: B-movie. With Poor Acting!

Rating: 4/10 (12 January 2013)

I liked Taken 1 - it was cool, and at least somewhat believable.
The script of this one... And the acting, especially of Famke Janssen (the hottie from X-Men)... Seriously, I can't remember anyone so bad in years - and I've seen some poor movies... But even in those the actors did try to act. Here, she is more than pathetic, she should be shunned from acting in any movie.
As for the script - the whole premise of the movie is unbelievable, the characters are unbelievable, most of the conversations is so tacky, clichéd and unbelievable, it makes you want to vomit and is only save by one thought - "I am sure at least the action will be good". Well, the action is good. And the car chase scene.
Don't believe me? Just double-read the movie tag line - it gave you a little warning bell ring inside, didn't it? But you decided to ignore it because famous actors are in the movie and the first part was cool, right? Wrong. Listen to your gut feel. And if you must watch it coz you have already seen the first, or coz you will be excluded from your friends, or your granny needs her bedtime movie, go ahead.
Just know it is rubbish. Really really rubbish. If you have the smallest alternative choice - TAKE IT. And take Taken 2 to the thrash / digital ether.
