Let’s keep it real here and admit that we didn’t need a sequel to Taken. However,  we are all going to see this. Because if we don’t Liam Neeson will find us…and we all know what happens when he does.

Bryan Mills, the retired CIA agent with a particular set of skills who stopped at nothing to save his daughter Kim from Albanian kidnappers. When the father of one of the kidnappers swears revenge, and takes Bryan and his wife hostage during their family vacation in Istanbul, Bryan enlists Kim to help them escape, and uses the same advanced level of special forces tactics to get his family to safety and systematically take out the kidnappers one by one.

Taken 2 hits theaters October 5th.

Well, not really sure how to feel about this one. I’ve heard quite positive reviews from advance screenings of this movie but to be honest this trailer reminds me of Van Helsing and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Could this end up being good? Sure. Does this look boring and quite on the “eh” side at the moment? Definitely. The last line in this trailer may end up describing the whole movie. But then again…I have been wrong before.

Catching up with Hansel (Renner) and Gretel (Arterton) 15 years after the traumatic incident involving a gingerbread house, the siblings have evolved into vengeful bounty hunters dedicated to exterminating witches. Over the years, the siblings became expert hunters, famous for their proficiency at tracking and taking down their prey. Although still recovering from their ordeal, their work is relatively easy as for an unknown reason harmful spells and curses do not work well against them.

The Mayor of Augsburg recruits them to rid the town and nearby forests of an evil sorceress (Janssen) who is planning to sacrifice many local children at the witches’ gathering during the upcoming ‘Blood Moon’ night in two days time. To make things worse, the duo also has to deal with the brutal Sheriff Berringer (Stormare) who has taken power in Augsburg and conducts a very indiscriminate witch-hunt of his own.

Taken 2 doesn’t hit theaters until October 5th but here’s a ‘making of’ featurette to hold you over until then!

 

Liam Neeson returns as Bryan Mills, a retired CIA operative who decimated an Albanian slave-trading ring to rescue his kidnapped daughter. A year later, on a trip to Istanbul, Mills gets a surprise visit from his daughter, Kim, and his wife, Lenore. The happy reunion turns sour when Lenore is taken by gangsters serving Murad, father of one of the fallen Albanian criminals. With his wife held hostage and Kim on the run, Mills must once again use his lethal skills to track down his wife and eliminate all who stand in his way.

 

I loved ‘Taken’. When I first heard about this movie I was scared that it was going to end up bad but it looks great.
