They can make as many of these Commando rehashes as they want and Ill watch them, revenge movies are the best

Albania mafia (?) ain't too bright, messing with a former CIA (?) agent, again?

What will Taken 3 be about? "We took his daughter, and he effed us up. Then we tried taking his wife, and he killed more of us. Since we are hard headed individuals who haven't learned that it's best not to eff with someone's family, I think it's best to just go after him. In America."

Actually the plot is really clever, he left a fucken disaster behind in France, now the whole world knows him, he is famous,.. then the Albania's come after him, why not, in real life they would too. No mafia would let that slide.

True, but you did kidnap his daughter...I mean damn, you kidnapped the wrong mofo's daugther. That's on you.

I also would think in the real world that there would be an international investigation of the ties between the American businessman (dead), the Albanian mafia (many dead), and the Middle Eastern clients (one dead)...
That whole bidding shit was crazy, six figures for a drugged up female? You could go on a site and pick up a escort for less.

Sad part is you bash it yet you'll be the first to see it.

Hope this helps.

Actually, I wasn't bashing it, I was being sarcastic. I didn't think that they'd make a 2nd one.
The first one was a breakout hit (plus the Audi S8)---it was a sleeper.

Took me three tries to make it through the first one......Pass

When i first heard about 2 i thought it was an unnecessary sequel but the trailer looks great and the story sounds okay.

Groink, for real?

First film was great - this looks even better.

In the real world he would never have found or freed her in the first place

CIA agent or not - there are no supermen out there.

Entertaining movie, pure escapism, but in real life the Albanian mafia is something you wouldn't fuck with. Look what happened to detective Mike Logan in Law and Order. One day he nabbed some Albanians and then all of a sudden he was gone.

Tell that to the allies that ran into the Waffen SS.

Taken 1 was very improbable but also very entertaining if truth be told.

A modern day Rambo---wrapped up as a everyday family man.

Taken was awesome, not sure it needs a sequel though.

No it didn't need one. I think they saw the potential in "Taken", like it kinda being a middle age man's "Jason Bourne" type of thing.

Sounds like you are referring to me.

The first one was fun (though I'm surprised to see it made enough money to generate a sequel). I saw it on Netflix and will enjoy this one on Netflix too.

Much like almost every other movie out there where they suddenly are able get on a plane and travel somewhere. They get these guns and shoot up everything in sight. Car accident where there walk away just rubbing their neck....

Perhaps you like the realism of something like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"?
