I was not Taken back, by Taken 2...(Woo-hoo hoo)

Taken 2 was an pretty good followup to Taken. It was pretty much on par with the first film. I would not say better, but it defintely was exciting. Liam Neeson is just an awesome and cool actor. Ever since Darkman from way back, he has been one of my favorite actors. The film starts a little slow, but picks up with chase scenes, witty one liners, and overall action. What surprised me, and I don't know if anyone else felt this was how much of a family movie it was. Of course there was lots of kicking butt by Neeson, but the moments bewteen his daughter and ex-wife were heart felt. It just goes to show you that yeah you can have plenty of action in a movie, but also have tender moments as well. I just don't like it when those moments are overdone and add nothing to the film. I think thats where you have to applaud the acting of Neeson, although his charcter will do anything to protect his family(including lots of shooting, stabbing, breaking necks, etc) he's not afraid to show that he loves his family. Maggie Grace who played his daughter, also gets into the action throwing grenades and such. Shes a pretty awesome looking woman who gets into alot of the action.It's fun seeing his family get into the action as well. Go watch Taken 2, and see what Liam Neeson does best, if you don't he will find you...
