#19 Taken 2 (2012)

Directed by: Olivier Megaton
Starring: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace

A failure. An unmitigated disaster. Laughable. Three phrases that sum this garbage up perfectly. Neeson looks disinterested and only there for the paycheque, which is highly disappointing when you think of the talent he possesses. The script is sloppy and the storyline completely ludicrous. This is, like the first, far fetched and over the top. Where the first succeeds with incorporating suspense and thrills, even in the most unbelievable moments, this instalment is devoid of anything except nonsensical dumb action sequences. Avoid!
