More action pack but less of a story!

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2013)

I thought the second movie was more action packed than the first one. But still, was all in all good. Though the original one was much better and had a story to it.
Bryan Mills(Liam Neeson), ex-CIA agent, and his ex-wife, Lenore(Famke Janssen) are kidnapped themselves by the father of one of the hostages in the original taken that was killed by Mills. Who has sworn revenge on Mills.
After his ex-wife is now estranged by her wealthy second husband, as Mills suggest she and their daughter Kim(Maggie Grace), come along with him on a vacation after his recent assignment as private bodyguard.
But Mills gets out of it but it is his wife that is forced to become the center focus as her life is on the line. He must depend on Kim more as Grace's role is not one of damsel in distress as that is now Janssen's role. Plus Graces role is expanded as she leans on her driving skills despite the fact she does not have her license.
Action packed but the story is overlooked due to that. Not as good as the first but still action packed!
