“Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.” - Dr Thomas Sowell
Much different than the first one.
The families of the bad guys from the first movie apparently all come from the same town, and nobody in the town seems to care that they kidnapped young girls and sold them into sex slavery. Sounds like a great place to raise your kids!
Anyway, more thugs from the town under the direction of Rade Serbedzija, who is becoming the go to guy for foreign villains, come after Liam and his family.
The biggest difference in this film is that it doesn't flow as well as the last film. In Taken, we get a couple of minutes of setup, and then it's non-stop killing. In this film, there's more setup, and then there's some killing, then a long lull, then some more killing. The end fight is also rather anti-climatic.
There's no really cool things that stand out about this film either, just dumb things like Liam spending all of Taken to save his daughter, and then putting her in harm's way here or the way the main villain confronts Liam at the end.
This film simply cannot escape the shadow of the first.
5 out of 10.
