Taken 2 is a movie that promises so much and delivers so little. Taken was unpredictable and tense while this is predictable and it feels boring due to lack of any tension. Liam Neeson is getting a little too old for movies like these, and his performance was disappointing. The biggest problem I had was with the direction. The action sequences are terribly shot and their editing is even worse which nullifies the effect of what we are seeing on the screen. Taken, too would a better title for this movie because the audience too is taken for highly unpleasant ride.

Pranit’s Rating: 3/10
