The original Taken was a surprise favourite of mine, this sequel is only a pale imitation of that movie though.

The story never really gets going here and the set pieces aren't half as good as those in the first movie.  It's not bad by any stretch, but it barely scratched the surface of any of the characters this time around.

It's not a movie I'd want to watch again and to be honest it kind of washed over me, despite only watching it an hour ago I can still remember more from the first movie than this one.

6/10 – The first is a better movie in every possible way.
