Almost identical to the first movie and on that note, you've seen it all before

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2014)

This was okay, not as exciting and kick-ass ruthless as I remember the first one being. Still a decent story utilizing many of the tricks that made the first movie so good i.e. the phone call -you will be taken (in this case "we've been taken") Stay calm and do the exact (random) things I say -geometry problems, throw a grenade out the widow.
Liam is cool though, I like him in these action roles and the plot was feasible enough as it sees retired CIA agent Bran Mills and his family being targeted while vacationing in Istanbul by the vengeful crime lord father of one of the men he killed in the first Taken. Bran is then forced to fight an army of killers in order to get himself and his (mostly unconscious) ex-wife back home alive.
Its almost identical to the first movie, tons of action, some cool fight scenes and while not great, still entertaining. 11/2/14
