Dove Review

“Taken 2” is a fast-paced action thriller starring Liam Neeson as he reprises the role of Brian Mills, a retired CIA agent. This time around, he and his ex-wife are kidnapped and it is left up to his daughter to help find the pair. With several chase and fight scenes, the action is almost non-stop. There are no plot twists so this is all about the action.

While there is surprisingly little blood, the combat is frequent with many jump scenes bringing the film slightly above our acceptability rating in violence. Unfortunately, there is also a single GD in the film which we consider to be a biblical curse. Due to these elements, we cannot endorse this film as a movie for the family.
