Horrible sequel. The filmmakers should be embarrassed

Rating: 1/10 (10 June 2015)

Insultingly awful sequel, whose plot is very similar to the vastly superior original, but riddled with holes in the plot, numerous continuity, and simple logic, errors.
Characters hurl grenades through the air with reckless abandon just to determine another's location(!) , Neeson guides his daughter by using things like a red flag, or a flower vendor as directions. If they were in Mayberry that might work, but not in a city of 14 million people. Apparently it is possible to crash one's car through the front gates of the American Embassy (which is in the Turkish capitol Ankara, not Istanbul) and not be shot at, and furthermore, be allowed to walk away moments later!
The well choreographed and filmed action scenes from the original are reduced to shakycam and frenetic editing trying to distract from the crummy action-- bloody hell, what action? It's just Neeson shooting everyone in sight after a very slow start.
I could barely remember much about this one after it was over. What a disappointment.
