Terrible action, bad script, bad cinematography. The John Wick films are basically just the better versions of these Taken movies. Go watch John Wick and John Wick: Chapter 2 instead.

Taken the first movie is one of my favorite films it really was original and shows that anything can happen with the right talent of both cast and crewTaken 2 however is pretty much a example of that a movie like Taken don't need a sequel. The film is more or less the same plot as the first movie only this time the roles are reverts where Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) and Lenore (Famke Janssen) were taken hostage leaving their daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) to fend for herself. The writers did improve on the character for Kim. There are some worth while moments the action is still good. It just the plot is being like a copy cat to the first film. There are some good moments in the film and some clever intent moments that make you go wow it's just the film don't live up to the standards that the first film had set and it goes to show that Taken was better off without the sequel. It's just the film is more or less a disappointment while yes there are some moments that make it watchable but the film just will make you wish you were watching Taken 1 insteadI give Taken 2 an 6 out of 10

I watched "Taken 2" last night and I was bit surprised that the film was not upto the mark as the first one was.... it was incredible but this one was a bit disappointment!!!!!The film not delivered the thrilling experience as the first one did and this time the action was not shown only brains and plans are shown which will be difficult for many to digest but it's still good at its place I will honour it as a good film though I liked the first one most!!!!!!Liam Neeson was again good but not perfect like the first one and the acting also went down the actors didn't acted good like the first one.... the action was OK but planning was good....Total my rating 1 (for not giving excitement like 1st)-1 (for less action and bit less acting)Thus, My rating:- 8/10

Retired CIA special ops agent Bryan Mills(Liam Neesom) is vacationing in Istanbul with his ex-wife Lenore(Famke Janssen)and daughter Kim(Maggie Grace). Mills and his family are abducted by Murad Krasniqi(Rade Serbedzja)seeking revenge for the deaths of Kim's former kidnappers. Murad's Albanese gang are avenging the death of their leader's son. This time it will be Kim who helps to free her parents unleashing Bryan to turn the tables on the ruthless Murad and his minions.Plenty of action with precision violence. Several degrees of brutality. Some sequences are highly intense and harsh. And what is not to like?! Other players: Leland Orser, D.B. Sweeney, Luke Grimes, Kevork Malikyan, Jon Gries and Alain Figlarz.
