Film: Taken 2

Four years is a pretty long time these days for a sequel. One would think this a good sign, that the producers of the underrated smash from 2008 were being discerning and waited for the right time and script to justify the franchise, instead of cashing in as soon as possible.

Well, that might be true in intention but it didn't quite pan out like that. The truth is that Taken 2 isn't that great - particularly when compared to the first one. I would place it at around 75% as awesome. Which is still pretty good actually, but disappointing all the same. Apart from that, the film is entirely more of the same.

Bearing that in mind, I'd still recommend it.
