Taken 2 is the sequel to Taken and a far cry from the same quality. It's entertaining, lots of action, some suspense, but the story is not as tight and lacks details. Some elements are obvious padding like the boyfriend thing. The three weeks after is pathetic. There's no Albanian dialogs where there should be. The new characters are parodies of real humans. The revenge theme seems so shallow compared to the human sex slave trade that's it's hard to believe it. And finally, that righteous anger is missing, simmering to a simple survival duty.
Not worth it, unless you really need to know what happens next.
