Ok people here is the thing....Liam Neesen is the voice of God, he trained Batman and Obi Wan, and he is Zeus!! Do we really think that he can't beat up a few guys in Europe to save his family...come on! Ok I must say I went into this movie with very low expectations because I heard it was only so so. I must say I enjoyed the film for what it was. It's not the same as the first, which I liked. This time we got to see how Bryan acts in the time of crisis when he's the victim. We also see how Kim is doing after her traumatizing experience in Paris. We also see the compassion that Bryan and Lenny used to have for one another. You really do learn alot about people after dealing with a traumatic experience.
Bryan is in Istanbul for work protecting a diplomat. As a surprise Kim and Lenny show up to spend quality family time together. We find out that the fathers and brothers of the men that Bryan killed in Paris are coming for him. They are really mad and they are coming to take his family and experience pain like nothing else.
I really don't want to ruin the movie for you....hmmm what can I say? Kim is fantastic and clear headed in a time of crisis. Lenny falls apart and freaks out.....shocker. Bryan is brilliant and super smart with every move, he thinks ten steps ahead. There is everything from gun fighting, car chases, bombs, and explosions.
The casting is great, Liam Neesen is perfect as the compassionate father who will do ANYTHING to keep his family safe. Maggie Grace is charming and lovely as the maturing Kim. Famke Janssen is great as the flighty and confused Lenny. You feel for her, Lenny is not mean for a life of guns and violence.
Do not go into this movie expecting it to be better than the first. It is a completely different film and is not trying to out do the first film. It is showing how the characters have grown and progressed over this time. You will be able to enjoy it a little more if you go in and just enjoy the ride.
Over All -B
