3 stars compared to the first part

96 Hours was a near-perfect action movie, of course, the second part must be measured by the predecessor. In Taken 2, there was unfortunately no courage to innovate, so that you always think when I look -kenn already.

The actors have remained substantially the same. The tension built up well in the first part in the family is simply blown away - his wife lives in isolation since the doors open for reconciliation - it is of course. New unrest factor to be daughter's new friend who is briefly reviewed by Papa and unfriendly attitude, which is everything but only half-heartedly and brings the action not only fulfilled the stereotype of an American Papas.

The tension builds up felt to significantly slower. There are the usual good martial arts scenes and many deaths (the Extended Cut should it but be sure) but somehow always with announcement. This time the daughter is with clamped, which significantly inhibits the action. A good part of the film goes on it it as the daughter, parents looking - this is clearly too long ridges. For this time come too many flat inconsistencies: Gangster, the machine all look bad in einm well-secured hotel and out and shoot around, throwing daughter in Istanbul with grenades by the opposite - of course nobody gets hurt. Just now fallen through the driving test she now hunts in 007 Mannier by car through the Strait of Istanbul directly through the barrier of the US Embassy. Fortunately the guard house was only there plywood. That's all kind of annoying. Otherwise ripples the action in front of him. Nothing is shocking especially as the street prostitution issue missing from part one. If you were there still disgusted and evil were real monsters there are now only typical Hollywood gangster.

Lacked the courage or ideas? The action roller coaster ride and the shocking images of part one should not be expected. But it is enough for entertaining Popkornkino evening.
