💀 flatline — One note, start to finish. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Very little of it ever resolves.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“The cast is uniformly capable and dead serious, and if you're buying what Luc Besson is selling, he's not short-changing you.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 75
“Taken 2 is like a textbook on how to make beautiful, successful and highly satisfying junk-food cinema. When it's just a plot point, the information gets tossed out as fast and as forcefully as possible. Time is lavished only on the things that matter.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle · 75
“The director of this jamboree is appropriately named Olivier Megaton.”
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor · 75
“Moviegoers who liked Taken and want more of the same will get precisely that.”
Bernard Besserglik, The Hollywood Reporter · 70
“Granted, the film lacks the kicky element of surprise that made the first movie so enjoyable, but it's hard to gripe too much. Taken 2 aims to be a fast-paced, workmanlike sequel that shows off its charismatic leading man, and that's exactly what it does.”
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic · 70

“Taken 2 was... Not as good as the first one. Yes, I am sad to say it is not as good but on the other hand the story is still sound and the action is better and faster then before. Liam Neeson plays his role excellently while some on the other cast members didn't preform as well. All in all a good movie but there are some little problems, but worth seeing any way.”
