Synopsis: The family of Bryans Mills (Neeson) is slowly recovering after the kidnapping of the daughter (in the first Taken movie). But the families of the now dead kidnappers don't forget so easily.
Review: The first Taken movie was a big success because revolving around such a simple plot: the father, ex-CIA, has only a few days to find his kidnapped daughter, and he will use all his skills to succeed. The sequel starts slowly, but after a while a similar story is put in place, so that fans of the first film can find again what they liked in it. There are also some surprises to keep the movie interesting. I would say that Taken 2 is maybe the best that could be done as sequel to the first movie. It is still pleasant to see the aging character of Neeson so cold and calculating in his work and also when it comes so save his family. I only found that the fights miss something ; we don't feel his anger like in the first movie, here it just kills anybody on his path.
Rating: 6 /10
