Review For Taken 2 |
A sloppy, lazy, unintentionally laughable sequel. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
A meta-American movie, a Godardian spoof of the whole genre, an attempt to see how stupid and insulting a motion picture can be and still be a big hit. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
Taken 2 is more of the same, except a little bigger, a little dumber, and a little less invigorating. James Berardinelli-ReelViews
So lazily put together that it relies on flashbacks from its predecessor for the majority of its character development. Dana Stevens-Slate
Neeson, despite having turned 60 in June, looks spritely enough in the role, and more than capable of another go-round should Taken 2 match its predecessor's success. Charles Gant-Variety
As much as this picture is action driven, its greatest delights are grounded in personality, in the fun of having a protagonist who combines homespun values with velociraptor functionality. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
This is a halfway decent action film, but I do hope if they make another sequel of this, they make a better one. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
More is definitely less in this sequel. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
Yeah, 'Taken 2' is pretty much the same movie that 'Taken' was. Like its predecessor, it's preposterous and over-the-top. And, boy, is this actioner ever just plain fun. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
If there were any justice in the world, this would be the movie inspiring mass riots. It's that bad. Rebecca Cusey-Patheos
On the evidence of this cheesy sequel, Neeson is in danger of becoming the new Steven Seagal. Andy Lea-Daily Star
Despite some pretty silly plot holes, this is a relatively entertaining hour and a half. Tony Medley-Tolucan Times
If you lie with dogs, you get fleas; if you go to Europe with Liam Neeson, you get kidnapped. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
... less credible, less suspenseful and less satisfying than it was before. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review
Unfortunately -- and somewhat embarrassingly for the human race -- there appears to be a sizable market for movies as blitheringly idiotic as this. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Like American filmmakers, it seems the French don't know when to quit, either. Dan Lybarger-KC Active
There's an endless car chase that somehow manages to run 100 minutes in a 90-minute movie. Unless my math is way off, in which case it just felt that way. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Hard-luck bodyguard Liam Neeson is back in action, this time tracking down his abducted wife in Istanbul in an efficient sequel to the hit Taken. Daniel Eagan-Film Journal International
Still delivers what the fans want to see: Liam Neeson being a total badass. Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz
Neeson Caters to his Audience in Taken 2. Charles Koplinski-Illinois Times
Megaton ... could use some more lessons in directing as he bombs in his strained efforts to recreate Pierre Morel's original. Brett Michel-Boston Phoenix
If you're hoping for even a hint here of the original's appeal, allow me to quote the immortal words of Marko from Tropoja: 'Good luck.' Rick Kisonak-Film Threat
Liam Neeson's muscular dad is still in good shape but the sequel's flabby. Jason Best-Movie Talk
Compared to the balletic savagery of the first Taken, what we see here is far less intense, or creative. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
I would have liked more insight into the characters but the heavy doses of action do entertain. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
