Taken 2 doesn't hold up to its predecessor: While Liam Neeson is as impressive as usual in this kidnapping thriller, the plot is totally absurd. What critics are saying:
- "There’s no need to wait for the MAD magazine parody of Taken 2. It’s already hilariously up there on the screen," writes Peter Howell in the Toronto Star. "The first thing to be kidnapped is logic" in "a ludicrous script that spent more time on a photocopier than in a word processor."
