Chicago Sun-Times
The cast is uniformly capable and dead serious, and if you're buying what Luc Besson is selling, he's not short-changing you. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Moviegoers who liked Taken and want more of the same will get precisely that. - 70
Arizona Republic
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. - 50
Boxoffice Magazine
Taken 2 is 91 minutes of "See Neeson kill-kill, Neeson kill!" - 50
The A.V. Club
None of it is particularly novel or exciting. - 50
Austin Chronicle
It's fun enough on its own relatively low-budget merits, but it's really nothing to die – or kill – for. - 40
Total Film
"What are you going to do?" wails Maggie. "What I do best!" growls Liam. Yet while it's fun to watch him take out the Eurotrash, we've seen him do it better. - 40
Empire
The first one offered the novel sight of Oskar Schindler going Commando. Unfortunately, this half-hearted sequel is low on novelty and lower on fun.
