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.

We got an international trailer not too long ago and now the domestic one has hit. Liam Neeson is back to unleash his certain set of skills! With this and the two Skyfall trailers earlier…I don’t know if the site can handle any more bad-ass for the day.

Liam Neeson returns as 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 unleashes into theaters October 5th.

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.

The first 5 minutes of next weekend’s Lockout has been released on Youtube. This looks like Escape From New York meets any Paul Anderson movie (Event Horizon, anybody?). I’m still not sure if that’s a good thing so… matinee? The movie stars Guy Pearce as a Snake Plissken clone charged with saving the trapped Maggie Grace (when is she not trapped?) from an orbiting super prison. So if you’re still on the fence, here are the first 5 minutes from the movie, showing Guy Pearce getting his ass beat. Are we sure that Kurt Russell is too old for these types of roles?
