Taken.......AGAIN!!!!


            Once in a generation we come upon an action movie that defines the genre, for our parents it was James Bond or Indiana Jones. For us it was 2008’s Taken, starring Liam Neeson. I bring this up now not only cause I am a HUGE fan of the actors, but also because the film is a nonstop entertaining action romp. The film was what the Bourne movies, or even the Mission Impossible movies tried to be, and that is the next standard in action movies. Ever since Taken came out there have been movies that have tried to dethrone the king (Even Neeson’s own The Grey) but have come up short. On October 5th we might see the next action movie to take the genre to new heights, the movie that I am talking about is Taken 2. Yes, yes at first it may seem ridicules that there could be a sequel that involves Mr. Neeson’s daughter and wife getting caught in some fashion. But as you can see from the trailer below that this next chapter in this families unlucky vacation outings it looks like it has a chance to live up to and maybe even surpass the original.
