Ex-government operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) is finally living a balanced life, spending time with his daughter and hoping for a reconciliation with his ex-wife (Famke Janssen). Of course, when she is found dead in his bed with her throat slit, things don't look so good for Bryan. He fights off the cops and embarks on a mission to solve his ex-wife's murder. But first he must tell his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) what happened to her mom and not to trust anyone. Meanwhile, the lead detective (Forest Whitaker) is in hot pursuit. And, his ex-wife's current husband is acting really strange. Bryan rounds up his old gang and they set out to prove Bryan's innocence.

Not as good as Taken 1 but still lots of fun. There are plenty of things to groan about, especially when Liam is single-handedly taking out five bad guys at once or when Oleg is firing his weapon on full automatic while wearing his tighty-whities but doesn't come close to even nicking Liam (you have to go see it for yourself to understand). And, it is so sad for Famke that she is with her current husband but still having fantasies about Liam. Doesn't everyone? I guess that doesn't happen to Trainer Joe.... He and the Husband both thought the movie was entertaining but had a few holes. If you like the Taken series and are a fan of Liam Neeson, I say go see it! If you like serious, realistic movies, go see something else.
