taken 2

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1397280

taken 2 was extraneous and took unbelievability to an uncomfortable level.  the first taken movie was a novel superagent movie with a plausible, if unlikely, premise.  the second was as disconnected from the reality of the first as the first was from real reality, but on a logarithmic scale.  the phone-a-friend routine got old in a hurry, and no matter how skilled of a super agent he is, i just cannot grit my teeth hard enough to suspend disbelief and watch him train his 16 year old over the phone.  where did she learn how to drive like that, and how did she fail her driving test with that kind of aptitude?  seriously.

anywho, everything about taken 2 was predictable, including the part where they are making taken 3.  or they already made it.  whatever.

taken 2 gets two driving exams.  one for liam neeson, the other because i remain a sucker for super agents.
