[BRP]

This article is old but I couldn't find this movie on search. The trailer is delicious.

its already out.

Was a decent movie.

[BRP]

haha oh wow, I misread the dates. Oh well, guess what I get for following some random chain of links. Still haven't been a thread for it. Guess I'll go see it.

EDIT: Just goes to show how poorly this movie was advertised. Shame.

[Null]

Yeah, I NEVER once saw an advertisement for this movie. Saw it about a year ago or so, fairly good. He isn't like those pussies that take it easy on their foes, letting them slide. He goes all out.

[Komm Suesser Tod]

Oh, it doesn't come out in the US till January, I was confused for a second.

[Null]

Yeah I live in the US as well, but it has been all over the net for over a year. Can catch it in perfect vision on Watchmovies.net.

[Sonomaa]

it was good, saw it a while ago when it was released in europe, great flick, liam is the man

[tyven]

yea definitely a good action flick

[Bwelch]

It was a good film. Though it would have been great to see the lead get a little roughed up. I don't think he was even touched. XD

[Rhinox]

he was shot a few times iirc.

yeah he got pretty fucked up at the end, certainly not invincible action hero

[Tekki]

Loved it, saw it when it was released in EU as well. Great flick, worth the ticket price + DVD. Usually action movies are pretty forgettable to me, but this is one of the handful I will enjoy re watching again.

Liam is really badass in this movie. Love the scene where he talks to the villains on the phone. Ok that is pretty vague but I don't wanna give a spoiler.

After reading this thread I watched the movie online and it was great. Neeson is an absolute badass.

seeing that part in the trailer was enough to sell me

[nicholai]

I just watched this and I thought it was really good, fast paced, no nonsense action.

[tyven]

no nonsense action is the best action. torture scene was so great.

[Parshias]

seeing that part in the trailer was enough to sell me

Same. I saw this trailer before a showing of Max Payne, and that part has completely sold the movie for me. Holy crap, Liam Neeson is a badass.

Sorry for the necro, but due to the lack of info on the sequel, it's hardly worth making a new topic for.

In a recent interview with MTV Liam Neeson talked briefly about Taken 2. The first Taken film was an incredibly badass movie, and I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel. We all know the sequel will eventually happen, but what will it be about? I'll let Neeson take it from here,

Taken 2... He's going to get taken!

Neeson is referening to the character he plays in the movie. Neeson will be Taken and he's going to have to do what it takes to save himself, possibly others in the process. He goes on to reveal that he doesn't know much more about the plot, but says that the script for the film is currenlty be worked on.

The actor also talked about the first film and how he thought it was a cool siple story that would make for a good strait to DVD movie. It obviously ended up being a lot more successful than he thought.

I thought it was a good little B-movie when I first read it. I thought, 'This is cool, very simple, maybe straight to video, but it's a good little film, it's a chance to do all that physical stuff.' And then it just seemed to hit a pulse in people, it did very very well which I'm thrilled about and we're hoping to do another one next year sometime.
