Taken 2

 

Age is just a number, at leat that’s what I think when I think about Liam Neeson. He managed the unthinkable, having a successful action-hero career after 40. He is not the youngest but according to movies like this, he is the deadliest for sure. I love this kind of movies, action packed and entertaining. as hell. The movie starts almost when the last one ended. Kim (Maggie Grace) is trying to recover from the trauma of been kidnapped and Murad played by Rade Serbedzija (is like there is no other role this actor can play, always a mobster or a terrorist, preferably from Eastern Europe) is the father of Neeson’s latest casualty. The Albanian father is on his quest to make Liam pay for the death of his beloved little monster. Bryan is in Istanbul finishing a job when Kim and Lenore decide to join him. Bryan’s ex-wife is feeling particularly vulnerable because her marriage has taken a turn for the worst and Liam is the perfect shoulder to cry on. While Lenore and Bryan are site-seeing they quickly realize that they are been followed and managed to get capture (despite Neeson´s best attempts to kill everyone) while her daughter is enjoying the pool and skyping with the new boyfriend. An almost fantastic, bearly believable series of events orchestrated by his daughter gets Liam freed and he will stop at nothing to get his wife alive and kill a few Albanians in the way. I liked it, even though it is almost impossible to believe the whole plot, one can only hope to have a father and a partner as devoted and focused as Liam in this movie, definitely nothing will scare teenage boys more that this concerned parent. On a side note, Famke Janssen (Lenore in the movie) should really spread her wings a little bit more, seems that everytime I see her in a movie she is playing the role of the same concerned weak wife, enough is enough! Get yourself another agent, you can do more woman, remember the X-Men franchise! Anyway, definetely “theatre worthy” especially if you have some popcorn and good company.
