Leave your thoughts about Taken 2.
| MovieJuice!Mark RamseyWhen Liam wants to kill the bad guys he just wraps his schvantz around their necks and strangles them to death. |
| NECNErick WeberRevenge is a dish best served riotously laughable. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThe director of this jamboree is appropriately named Olivier Megaton. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleTaken 2 is like a textbook on how to make beautiful, successful and highly satisfying junk-food cinema. When it's just a plot point, the information gets tossed out as fast and as forcefully as possible. Time is lavished only on the things that matter. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe cast is uniformly capable and dead serious, and if you're buying what Luc Besson is selling, he's not short-changing you. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe follow-up has less action, less energy, less Liam Neeson awesomeness - in other words less of everything that people liked about the first one. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderI surrender! I simply cannot absorb another fist, bullet or knife thrust into my atrophying brain by a hyperventilating Liam Neeson in the name of his stupid, twitty movie daughter, Kim. |
| DeadspinTim Grierson"Taken 2" is really, really goofy -- it's even goofier because it thinks it's about the futility of vengeance -- but Liam Neeson almost makes you buy it. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersGood action. Neeson rocks as the death-dealing American ex-spy. What else do you need? Maybe "Taken 3″ isn't such a bad idea. |
| OregonianMike RussellIt'll have a great opening weekend, but it still seems a shame to have diluted the action-flick purity of the first "Taken" with this cash grab. |
