Taken 2

😰Liam

Heavy on violence and torture scenes, but Liam looked cool - I’ll give him that.

(disclaimer: i didn’t watch the 1st taken before this so take this review with a grain of salt) i felt a lil out of breath like there were so many camera angles shown for each fight or chase scene. the plot itself was p good but p aggressive with lots of suspense

sequel ramps up the revenge! Bryan Liam Neeson chills in Istanbul with ex Lenore Famke Janssen and daughter Kim Maggie Grace post-first flick trauma. Albanian boss Murad father of killed kidnappers from Paris wants payback vows to torture em all. They snag Lenore at hotel Bryan fights off goons but gets bagged too chained in hideout.
Bryan slips free calls Kim drops iconic I will find you vibes guides her with phone codes to pinpoint spot using grenades for echoes boom! Kim chucks em from roofs triangulates location total spy thriller edge. She drives like a boss through Istanbul streets dodging cops in epic chase Bryan rescues Lenore from bleeding out.
Best rushes that hotel ambush brutal hand-to-hand Bryan snapping necks. Rooftop grenade tension heart-pounding. Car pursuit flips taxis chaos AF. Climax Bryan storms lair shoots henchmen confronts Murad in church spares him after no more vendetta promise. Family bonds tighter therapy nods. Non-stop action less talky than original pure thrill ride keeps ya locked.
