The movie Taken had instilled fear into parents and children
all around. It was a psychological thriller which had shown all the great sides
of a movie you could want. The action, fear, and love. It taught many people
lessons about how to protect themselves. It also made it aware to the world
that things like this can happen in our crazy messed up world today.
I recently went and viewed Taken 2. It was now not only
about the daughter being kidnapped and saved by her almost ninja like father it
now results to the mother and father being taken also. Liam Nesson travels to
Istanbul for a job. While there he invites his ex-wife who now has divorced her
second husband and his daughter to come visit. While they are traveling to have
a family vacation the main man of the cult is planning an attack. He wants to
seek revenge on Liam Nesson for killing one of his sons. He is planning an attack on the whole family
to kill them on the land that his people were killed on. One day the mother and
father leave for a semi date. The daughter Kim decides to stay for a swim at
the hotel. As the couple is traveling along, Nesson senses trouble. He realizes
that they are being followed. As he tries to help the wife escape she gets
caught. Right before they are taken he has to make the most unfortunate phone call.
Again he starts with Kim, we are going to be taken. They are coming for her
too.
As they are taken Kim ends up helping her father save them.
She maps out their location, locates where they are, and also uses some guns
and grenades along the way. During this whole time the men have slit his wifes
throat and she is about the bleed out. Liam being Liam finds a way out and
saves her just in time. While he just helped save his wife his daughter is
about to be shot. Once again saving her they go back to get the mom but she is
gone.
Liam Nesson is now in for
revenge. He will not let anyone hurt his family ever again. He goes into bad
ass mode and hunts down where the leader of the cult and the wife are located.
AS he see’s the image of his wife laying there motionless he find the leader.
He refrains from shooting and tells him he will walk away if he promises to
never hurt his family ever again. As he sets the gun down to walk away the cult
leader tries to shoot, once he tried to do this Nesson killed him.
The movie was a great sequel to
the original. They did leave it open for a third movie by letting us know that
the leader has 2 other sons waiting. So I guess we will see!
