But make no mistake; despite being a carbon copy of just about everything, it still delivers. It achieves what it set out to do. No, it's not a Bourne film nor is it trying to be. The thing about Taken and Taken 2 is how they take a very basic background and make it come to life. Sure, there's nothing out of the ordinary or new or surprising. But to be honest, it's not always a bad thing. Taken 2 has action, it has suspense and it genuinely delivers a very intense 89 minutes.

It's one of those films where you lean forward if you know what I mean. I wouldn't say it improves on the original, but is just as good. Taken 2 takes everything we loved from the original film and I will admit portions were fresh and still riveting.

Regardless, this sequel falls in the shadows of its precursor. ReelViews94 Mar 23, When Taken hit screens in , it benefitted from the shock of the new. Not that its content looked particularly novel. Executive producer and co-writer Luc Besson had already spent a couple of decades turning out serviceable-or-better Eurothrillers made in the model he helped create with When Taken hit screens in , it benefitted from the shock of the new.

Executive producer and co-writer Luc Besson had already spent a couple of decades turning out serviceable-or-better Eurothrillers made in the model he helped create with films like La Femme Nikita. The shock came from the star doing the Eurothrilling: Liam Neeson, an actor of the first order, known for exuding introspective gentleness.

Part of what makes Taken so entertaining, albeit sometimes unintentionally, is the way it portrays Europe as a pit of sin filled with snares for unsuspecting American innocents abroad. Kind of like a Henry James novel, but with a lot more forced prostitution.

The rest of its appeal comes from the unapologetic simplicity of its plot, its propulsive pace, and the way Neeson took to both, bringing unsmiling gravity to what could have been a dull role. Since then, the shock has worn off. Neeson continued to explore the action world in films that are striking The Grey , dull Unknown , or perfunctory The A-Team. This, it seems, is what Neeson does now, and his return to his Taken role offers few surprises.

The film also lacks the efficiency and relentlessness of the original. None of it is particularly novel or exciting. FranzHcritic Jul 10, I just found this film more hyperbolic and unbelievable than it should have been. This simply isn't a good action film. More cash grab than genuine thrills and suspense, like the first, however I just found this film more hyperbolic and unbelievable than it should have been.

More cash grab than genuine thrills and suspense, like the first, however typical the first one was.
