UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
adonis98-743-186503 In Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his wife are taken hostage by the father of a kidnapper Mills killed while rescuing his daughter. Taken 2 is movie that should have never made but at least they tried and they kinda did it justice kinda, there's a lot of action in this film alongside some pretty good suspense unfortunately the movie looses it's focus from some plot elements where the director Olivier Megatron (Transporter 3) tries to turn Bryan Mills from a CIA operative to a superhero that remembers and knows everything. Also the villains weren't something that great if you ask me but then again not even the first one had amazing villains but the first film was mostly based upon him finding his daughter and all this psychological thriller he had to go threw so he could find her but at least the film does stay true to it's title since someone does get Taken in around the first 30 to 35 minutes into the film but if you erase from your mind the weak plot and villains and possibly the worst death of a villain ever that happens in the end you will find enjoyable in the end but don't except anything like the first movie was but for a sequel that shouldn't exist since the first film was perfect on it's own it does deliver some action and the 3 leading actors do give some pretty good performances and i'll give it a 7.9/10
zafar142007 This movie does not offer any surprises. The plot is linear, no turns in sight; it's as if the original film has been remade. Lots of shooting, car chases, people dropping dead; it's the usual fare. Neeson looks good, sounds good, and shoots good. He is like the unkillable hulk, just like the first movie. The other actors don't have much to do. They are either running, shooting, or fainting. Unlike the first movie, this does not have any memorable dialogues, not for me. If you just want to see an action flick, or if you haven't seen the first movie, you can go for this one, but don't expect too much. If you have seen the first one, maybe you can leave this one out.
sol- Taken hostage in Istanbul by the Albanians whose relatives he mercilessly murdered in 'Taken', ex-CIA agent Bryan Mills has to rely on his daughter to rescue him in this action-packed sequel to the 2008 hit film. 'Taken 2' pushes the boundaries of credibility at many points (Neeson triangulating various locations) and it is not quite as well-paced as the first entry with half an hour of exposition before the action truly ignites, however, it is not a worthless sequel by any stretch of the imagination. The writers build up rapport between Liam Neeson and Maggie Grace as estranged father and daughter very well, and there is something quite amusing in how she does eventually get a long awaited real driving lesson from him late in the piece. The film's attempt to reverse the formula of the first film works surprisingly well too as she follows instructions from Neeson via cellular phone of how to rescue him. 'Taken 2' also acknowledges Neeson's callousness for the first time, and how with the Albanians he "killed them all like they were so many nothings" - a refreshing moral stance almost completely absence from the original film. The script is far from perfect though with the sudden reconciliation between Famke Janssen and Neeson seeming like a mere plot device, not to mention many improbabilities, but it is a surprisingly gripping watch and Neeson is as sympathetic as ever as a man out to protect his family whatever the cost. 'Taken 2' is may not necessarily be a superior motion picture to Part One, but it is a lot more interesting than one might expect.
pat_healey After reviewing other reviews I am left thinking what do I see and enjoy on this movie, Taken 2 that is the first of the series I have seen. I thought it was great and like any movie the location is never spot on, and that's what makes it even more enjoyable and fun to watch.I thought Liam Neeson and Kim did a fantastic job. Well done. Now I want to see taken 1 and hope there might be further movies.I'm not sure what others see to say it was nothing but a comical movie filled with laughter.I also think the goofs adds to the movie and it makes it much better for a first time viewer.It's a movie I would highly recommend for many. And I know many who don't have their drivers license that would drive automatic, who hop right in and know how to drive a stick shift more than anything.Love the ending where their having Sundaes and Jamie joins them. It was a movie filled with lots of action; heck when it gains my attention as people try to text and chat with me on facebook it must be good.When's the next one coming out?
