Taken 2 (2012)

I went into this expecting something terrible (what does that say about me, that I chose to watch it anyway), so I was pleased that it ended up being ok. They actually set up a slightly plausible story of why they were being re-taken. However, after the bodies starting piling up, I’m sure they were rethinking their logic of abducting his family in order to get justice for all the people he killed in the first film.

Will there be a sequel to make him pay for everybody who died in this round? They mentioned two other sons, but didn’t reveal whether he disposed of them, as well as every other relative of someone he killed. The ending as a whole was unsatisfying. Certainly not on par with the fresh and fun action flick the original was.
