Taken 2 Review. Thats shame producer Luc Besson and director Olivier Megaton weren't around inside 1950s; they could need made Searchers 2, when John Wayne gets kidnapped with the Indians and manages to send smoke-signals to tell Natalie Wood how to ride in and become him back. Anyway, Besson plus the delicately named Megaton had an extensive smash with their 08 kidnap drama, Taken, starring Liam Neeson being the CIA guy whose daughter has been kidnapped by foreign baddies. He did look for them. He did discover them. And he did eliminate them. That legendary voicemail threat from Neeson directed him into an measures hombre overnight. The unavoidable sequel has put your weird twist on elements. Now it's Liam that is got kidnapped (in Istanbul) and it is his daughter who has to save him!
He's chained up in a manky basement, and while his Turkish captors rashly result in him alone, all watching unAmerican football next room, Liam produces a small mobile phone hidden about his person, and whisperingly uses it to understand his girl to pick up his guns and grenades and where to locate him.
Neeson, that speak about acting professional, doesn't give it any lower than he gave Oskar Schindler. Inside first movie, from the tailend in the Bush era, Liam was not shy about using Jack Bauerish torture techniques, wiring up evil-doers on the mains and zapping these with righteous volts. None of these now. That was some 15; this is some sort of 12A, a bit tamer, much like ridiculous, but the storyline is looking pretty tired.
