Taken 2

Starring: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace
Director: Olivier Megaton

I went to see 'Taken 2' the other day, and I have to say I was unexpectedly surprised at how good it actually was. Sequels have always had a reputation for being nowhere near as good as the originals. 'Taken 2' was no exception but it was close to being as good as the first. The first film was brilliant in the way Neeson actually tracked down his daughter as it was very clever with the techniques he used. The second film however lacked then level of intelligence that came with the first film. It was a more action focused film than intelligence. Action was choreographed well but felt slow in the sense that the enemies were deliberately trying to get killed. What really annoyed was the cheesy dialogue scattered throughout the film as most of it was completely unnecessary All in all a good film to watch with action and some sort of intelligence wrapped in but with cheesy dialogue scattered throughout.     

Taken 2=3/5
