249. Taken 2 (2012)

May 31, 2014

While Taken 2 was nowhere near as good as the first Taken, it wasn't as bad as a lot of the reviews I heard said it was. It was a continuation of the story from the first film, in which the families of the bad guys Liam Neeson killed started seeking revenge for their lost loved ones (even though they were all dirtbags). When the bad guys families find out that Neeson and his family were in Istanbul, they took Neeson and his wife, Famke Janssen. Using his particular set of skills to remember every detail even while he had a bag over his head, Neeson was able to determine where he ended up, and was able to get a message to his daughter to try to save them. Then, once saved, Neeson swiftly delivered justice and got his family home safe again. I heard they are making Taken 3. While part 2 was implausible, a part 3 is really inconceivable. I don't think they have any pets, and if any of the family members get taken again it would just become a parody of itself.
