Regarding BrianSez’s Review
So I’ve been told… T2 won’t be on my to-view list any time soon
Regarding BrianSez’s Review
Taken = good. Taken 2 = blech.
Excellent review Tom. I hadn’t heard anything about this movie till seeing a run of trailers for it on TV the past few days. The trailer left me scratching my head since they made it look like Neeson anticipated his daughter’s abduction as payback for something he’d done. Apparently not, which makes the plot setup seem overly contrived. In any case, your review is very helpful in understanding this as a fairly run-of-the-mill action pic.
