Taken 2 (2012)
Directed by Olivier
Megaton this sequel stars Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen
and Rade Serbedzija. Following the events of the last film the gang
that provided the cannon fodder for our hero are our for revenge as
the hero and his family visit Istanbul.
This is probably a
better sequel than the original deserves, it does nothing especially
good but the script has a few nice touches that top this being a
complete rerun of a fairly simplistic formula. While there may not be
much in terms of character growth or a real story arc here there are
a couple of nice reversals of what you would normally find in films
like this that help keep the film fresh. Unfortunately when it comes
to the direction Olivier Megaton is not up to a par with the original
or other Luc Besson inspired action sequences.
3/5
