Neeson is back doing what he does best<\/h2>\n

The Luc Besson-backed thriller Taken was a surprise hit back in 2008, which cemented Liam Neeson\u2019s second-wind career run as a discerning gent and super dad of the big screen. Four years later, and Taken 2 is almost here!\u00a0 So what do we know so far?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Liam Neeson returns as Bryan Mills, the retired CIA agent with a particular set of skills who stopped at nothing to save his daughter Kim from Albanian kidnappers in 2008\u2019s Taken.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the father of one of the kidnappers swears revenge and takes Bryan and his wife hostage during their family vacation in Istanbul, Bryan enlists Kim to help them escape, and uses the same advanced level of special forces tactics to get his family to safety and systematically take out the kidnappers one by one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The trailer shows Neeson has not lost any of the special skills he learnt in the CIA, he is shown doing what he does best: snapping necks, firing guns, and smashing any baddie who threatens the safety of his family.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Neeson did previous state in an interview that Mills will actually be the one \u201ctaken\u201d in this sequel. However, the new international trailer for the film focuses more on our hero\u2019s attempts to rescue his wife (who is taken hostage) by working together with his daughter. Assuming this preview isn\u2019t an example of misdirection \u2013 which could be the case \u2013 it seems that Mills will only be a hostage himself for a limited portion of Taken 2…..potentially.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Neeson is back doing what he does best – kick ass! But is the trailer a true reflect of who will get “taken” in the second instalment of the movie?
