Adrenaline rush!

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2012)

Taken 2 is exactly what you'd expect. Liam Neeson is relentless in protecting his family and will kill anyone who gets in his way. I found myself getting into the movie and caring for his wife and daughter. The chase scenes were well done and action packed. It's not exactly a deep film, however it was a fun experience.
I enjoyed Liam Neeson's part, but had the feeling it was the same part Steven Seagal would have played 20 years ago. They both had the mysterious agency past and special training, hand-to-hand fighting skills and equally deadly with a gun.
Maggie Grace was perfect for the role of his daughter.
The Istanbul location was both exotic and gritty, making it ideal.
I recommend this film.
