On the whole, a very watchable film. If you watch it as a second part to Taken it is very enjoyable. As a stand alone film it is not up to scratch. Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen get far more air time and as an avid sci-fi viewer, this pleased me. Liam Neeson impresses as usual but there is not an utterance of the famous line. Overall, in the grand scheme of film making it falls ever so slightly short. If there were a double viewing option, do it.
Best Moment: Liam Neeson's acting style. Brilliant as usual.
Worst moments: An all too quick resolution.
Wait for the DVD? - Yes. and then watch Taken first as a double header.
Rating 6.5/10
For fans of: Taken, Bourne, Shooter.

As an aside to Adam's review, I would concur, it is the perfect accompaniment to the first film.
There are some wonderful moments, worth paying £4 at the cinema to see, but no more.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Favourite moment(s):
i) Macgyver speed of sound solution.
ii) The Bourne soundtrack rip-off during a chase scene. (Fantastic).
iii) Phone call from the embassy.
Worst moment(s)/quibbles:
i) Generally poor make-up.
ii) The unusual strawberry ice-cream choice.
A firm recommendation. 7/10.
