    In the spirit of Die Hard, this should have been called Takener.

    Anyone else delighted to see Famke Janssen again :pac:

    Good to see that the title is somewhat literal. Instead of just one being Taken, this times there's 2 taken..... :P While the first wasn't anything amazing, it was still highly entertaining.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 161 ✭✭spuddy90


    clip looks very entertaining, can't wait for it!!! if its as good as the first 1 we should be in for a treat!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,815 ✭✭✭delbertgrady


    Boo. No clips of Maggie Grace running in the trailer. :D

    Looking forward to it! Kinda wish they had just left it alone though, loved the first one :) Hopefully this delivers.

    Wasn't expecting much, looks great, I like the whole getting revenge against him angle.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,114 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    I think Taken toed that dangerous line between being awesome and being ****ing idiotic, and yet somehow made it across the finish line with dignity mostly intact (although that ridiculous bit with the Sheik was a step too far for me). I wonder if they can manage the balancing act again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    I've never actually seen the first one,just caught a few minutes of it. must get around to it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,526 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Liam Neeson, the finest wine of an actor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Looks great! Will be seeing this one in the cinema


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,676 ✭✭✭dr gonzo


    Fantastic! The first one was amazing.

    Strangely though, Its a great example of how casting makes all the difference. Imagine if Taken was a Jason Statham movie, it would have been well forgotten by now. Liam Neeson is everything that makes these films what they are.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Missing the first one in the cinema is one of my great movie crimes so i will no doubt see this one popcorn in hand.

    Guys the first was a fantastic action movie where Liam Neeson was like Chuck Norris.

    This is the first time hearing about a second movie, will mark it on the calender


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 865 ✭✭✭FlashD


    F**king A!

    Nesson brings the pain part two.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    That looks amazing.

    Taken is easily one my favorite actions films despite it's faults. When I heard Liam Neeson talking about the plot he made it sound like he was kidnapped in the first scene and Maggie Grace would be running around (ha remember the running) kicking ass. I would have died a little inside.

    The worst part about this movie seemingly so far - the fact they're giving Maggie Grace actual screentime.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,161 ✭✭✭frag420


    So he brings his family on holiday to Istanbul eh..........................


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    I wonder where they're being Taken 2 in this movie.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 194 ✭✭SScope


    That looks like it's going to be a bit of fun to watch. Haven't seen the first one yet, take it that you guys would recommend it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    Is Holly Valance back for a scene or 2?
    Hopefully talking and wearing very little.........

    re: the 1st one:

    I'm amazed that noone has made a mis-taken joke yet.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Thanks, Mickeroo. I'll check it out over the weekend.

    Looks good!

    Is he (and the family) speaking in an Irish accent instead of that godawful quasi-american one in the first film?

    Appartently the character discoved Marley since the last flick so he'll be using a Jamaican accent for this one.

    ....but then that's what actors do, accents.

    Roll on October, this is going to be awesome :cool:

    But she is hot though...


    Cant wait for this movie!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 292 ✭✭kojack


    Can't wait to see this. I hope they give a good reason why he is holidaying with his ex-wife


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen

    That seems fairly simple. Their relationship was reignited due to the fact that he killed numerous Eastern Europeans to save their daughter's life. :D

    I hope they give a good reason why they are kidnapping members of Neesons family again. Surely their revenge should be to capture and kill/torture the bloke who wiped half of them out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 292 ✭✭kojack


    The story line will be ridiculous, but the action will be quality


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,732 ✭✭✭fluke


    Taken: Take Down would have been an awesome title!

    As a sequel at least it's not just another random kidnapping but a sort of revenge flick

    As long as the title "Taken 2: Turkey" isnt appropriate I'll be happy! :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,729 ✭✭✭Pride Fighter


    Should be the greatest film ever, since Taken 1 anyway.

    Looking forward to this.

    Hard to believe the Liamster is 60 lads! Kickin' ass with the best of them.

    First film was a great action film, if a bit far fetched. He is definitely on a roll though in terms of this kinds of flicks - more luck to him!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,451 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Is Neeson's character suppose to be back with his wife in this one?

    It certainly looks that way alright, either that or hes on the cusp of getting back with her.

    Trailer US version, looks amazing love the line at the end :D

    seems very similar to the first one but then again... it was great so I'm not bothered! cant wait!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,255 ✭✭✭Renn


    Like this post if you thought Taken was a steaming pile of sh*t.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,692 ✭✭✭Jarren


    Where is the unlike option ^? :pac:
