Liam Neeson's particular set of skills are getting another workout this October with the release of Taken 2, which will see his insanely hard, former ex-CIA operative once again taking bad guys apart and looking cool doing it. And to prove that latter statement, at least, here's a new poster to the film.
Aside from doing the chiaroscuro thing and sitting about in semi-darkness with his gun, Neeson will spend the film facing a whole new set of problems in a major tourist destination. This time, Istanbul replaces Paris, and Neeson's Bryan Mills finds himself in the firing line, along with his wife (Famke Janssen) and daughter (Maggie Grace). The ne'er-do-well responsible for their troubles? The father of one of the kidnappers that Mills killed on his search for his daughter last time around.
We'd like to tell you that the moral, therefore, will be that one shouldn't meet violence with violence lest it perpetuate itself, but that may be an assumption too far given Neeson's ferocity in the first film. Still, with director Olivier Megaton at the helm, expect action galore when it hits screens on October 5.{Taken 2}
