Taken 2 Review (MovieMantz)
In the years that followed, mid-range box office hits - like last year's "Unknown" and last winter's "The Grey" - solidified Neeson's newfound status, so of course it was only a matter of time before moviegoers were graced with "Taken 2." And now that ...www.accesshollywood.com

Any plot elements that you see in "Taken 2" are merely superficial. Kim has a boyfriend, but he adds nothing to the movie and seems to be there because it's a teenage girl requirement.worthplaying.com
