What Kim does to save them may inspire some disbelieving laughter from the audience, but man, oh, man, that girl has pluck, and can outrun the terrorists and the Turkish cops, despite having failed two driver's license exams. This is because Mills, apparently the most brilliant graduate in CIA history, manages to call his daughter for help and lead her through a complex process of using a shoestring and a map to figure out where he and Lenore are being held. You're hanging upside down and bleeding, with a black hood over your head, and you hear your ex-husband's reassuring voice: It's all gonna be OK. (Not to worry this is only PG-13-rated hanging upside down and bleeding to death.)

Krasniqi, having made a precise slit in Leonore's throat, kindly explains that because the blood will flow to her head, she won't bleed to death right away. This leads to Lenore being left hanging by chains, upside down in a warehouse, while Mills is chained to a pipe in the same room. This time Mills and Lenore are kidnapped, when Kim pulls out of a family outing.

Never mind that Bryan Mills' daughter was one of the kidnappees. Never mind that the lad specialized in kidnapping young tourists and making them sex slaves. The chief mourner is Murad Krasniqi (the dependably evil Rade Sherbedgia), whose son was among the victims. Now we see that Mills killed so many bad guys in the first film that a transport plane is needed to airlift their bodies home, and a mass burial is required to dispose of them. He's only a stone's throw from Albania, where the film opens with a funeral of Mills' victims from the first 'Taken.' I have long complained that action pictures leave dozens of dead bodies behind and unaccounted for.

Mills has been hired to be a sheik's bodyguard in Istanbul when he wraps the job, he invites Kim and Lenore to join him for some R&R in Istanbul.Д«ad idea. Lenore's new husband has proven to be a no-good rat, and some energy flows between her and Bryan, the father of their daughter Kim (Maggie Grace). You don't need to have seen the first film to follow this one, which opens with touching scenes between ex-CIA man Bryan Mills (Neeson) and his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen, who is seriously beautiful here). They say that the family that's kidnapped together, stays together and a whole lotta bonding will go on after this one. I suppose the second kidnapping was necessary in 'Taken 2,' which stars Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen in a pumped-up sequel to ' Taken' (2008). This despite her having a father so protective that he implants a GPS app in her iPhone and bursts in on her making out with her sweet, polite boyfriend. She doesn't even have her driver's license yet, and she's been kidnapped by sex traffickers in Paris and terrorists in Istanbul. The sight of Grace leap-frogging from rooftop to rooftop like Jason Bourne -В and teaming up with her old man to kick some serious ass - offers a refreshing contrast to the somewhat too familiar scenarios teased in both of the film's international promos.Poor Kim Mills. Meanwhile, Grace gets to showcase her action heroine chops with an expanded, proactive role in Taken 2 (and not repeat her damsel-in-distress turn from the first movie). Fans need not fret about the 'Mills being taken' setup, though, as Neeson will clearly get his fair share of (onscreen) killing done before the end credits start to role. The latest footage compilation from Taken 2 otherwise hits all the action beats you would expect - including, a car chase/shootout where Mills drives backwards, and a moment bound to prompt feelings of dГ©jГ vu,В where Mills informs his daughter of the dangerous situations (via cell phone). This new international promo also includes a pivotal plot point glossed over in the first Taken 2 international trailer: that both Mills and his wife end up being held hostage at some point. It turns out that vacationing in Europe is just not something members of the Mills clan should ever do, as the family is tracked down by Albaian criminals seeking vengeance for their slaughtered brothers (from the first film). The Luc Besson sequel picks up with Bryan 'Man with a Particular Set of Skills' Mills (Liam Neeson) as he spends some leisure time with his ex-wife (Famke Janssen) and daughter (Maggie Grace) in Istanbul. We have a second, shorter, and subtitled international trailer for Taken 2.
