Liam Neeson, action hero, was an idea, and a performance, that caught many by surprise when he starred as the quiet but deadly daughter-seeker (and revenge-seeker) in Taken. By the time this sequel was made in 2012, Neeson had firmely established himself in the genre – and, with this film, revisits both his character and his original dilemma. In the first Taken, his daughter was whisked away by sex traffickers. In this follow-up, Neeson’s Bryan Mills and family are targeted by the father of one of the kidnappers Mills killed the first time around. So, it’s a dad out for revenge again, only this time as the villain.
