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.
