About the Film

Taken 2 is a 2012 French action thriller directed by Olivier Megaton, the sequel to the 2008 hit. Liam Neeson returns as Bryan Mills, whose vacation in Istanbul with his ex-wife Lenore, played by Famke Janssen, and daughter Kim, played by Maggie Grace, is disrupted when the father of one of the Albanian kidnappers Mills killed in the first film seeks revenge and kidnaps both Bryan and Lenore. Using a smuggled phone and his daughter as his eyes on the outside, Bryan must direct Kim through the streets of Istanbul using grenades as sonar to locate his position while fighting his way to freedom.

Taken 2 earned $376 million worldwide on a $45 million budget, a strong commercial result though the critical reception was significantly less favorable than the original.
