Rade Sherbedgia to play villain Taken 2
The actor will play Murad, the father of a kidnapper slain by Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) in the first film. Murad is described as a vengeful man who gives orders and doesn't take them. 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. When Murad 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.
Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace will also be coming back to play there original roles. Luc Besson is set to produce.
Taken 2 comes to theaters October 5th, 2012 and stars Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace. The film is directed by Olivier Megaton.

@slysnide -- Or Mass Effect 3, quite possibly "Gears Of War 3" - only if you've played the first-two, though.

@ROFLitschristian -- That's probably why. ;)

A sequel's so unnecessary. The first one wasn't even that good! Maybe that's because we watched it 4 times in school when it was released...

Man, I just realized that apart from a free ticket, I also got a gift card for both the theater and best buy. What to save for? Hmm. Oh yeah, "Arkham Asylum" comes out on Tuesday.

@slysnide -- Really? I really like the concept of "Limitless", and I'm attracted to the cast and its' vibe. Well, like I said, I'll see both just for the heck of rating/having my say on both. But thanks for your input, too!

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx: "Rio" sounds better by a country mile. See that.

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx I gave both films 4 stars

@slysnide -- Ha, I heard a lot of mixed reviews for "Limitless", mainly positive feedback if you round it up to the majority. I don't know much about "Rio", other than it's an animation that involves birds, lol. Here's a copy and paste from IMDb -- "When Blu, a domesticated macaw from small-town Minnesota, meets the fiercely independent Jewel, he takes off on an adventure to Rio de Janeiro with this bird of his dreams. " Short and sweet, if you ask me.

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx: Check that, I actually gave it 2.5, but advised you'd need a buddy to stave through it. As for those other two you mentioned, I've not seen either, but heard that "Limitless" wasn't that great, and that it further demeaned DeNiro and Cooper was only given that role to help his career branch out to show he could perform well in various genres. "Rio," the title itself sounds better despite I've no idea what the film is. Remind me again.

@bawnian-dexeus -- All right, what would you rate them both on the scale of 10(or 5, whichever works)?

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx Dunno what sly thinks on Rio and Limitless, but those are two good choices for the evening

@slysnide -- Really? I had no clue it would be that bad. Anyway, what did you and @bawnian-dexeus think of Rio and Limitless? I may see both those films tonight.

@slysnide That movie didn't make sense to me. It was all over the place and quite boring
8 months agoby @bawnian-dexeusFlag
slysnide
@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx: I suppose that makes sense, as the action film "The International" was just terrible with its similar story logic and nearly equally ridiculous execution of events, yet "taken" was better than that. Though as I recall, I only gave "The International" a single star, or less.

@slysnide -- Well, think about it. Nowadays, most action flicks suck, or they are actually decent, if not great. While I understand you may have not liked it, I think you'll come up with a rating a little above-average if you keep an open-mind and base it on everything(the film has to offer).

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx: If I thought it was above average, I'd have given it a better rating, but I get your point.
8 months agoby @slysnideFlag

@slysnide -- Hm, I guess that's reasonable, but while I cannot change your opinion, I think we can both agree when I say that "Taken" is above-average, especially when it comes to action films?

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx Oh well, I ll chock it up to think that her body is rotting away in France with her parents loosing it
8 months agoby @bawnian-dexeusFlag
slysnide
@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx: Okay I'll give you that, it kept a pace, but it was totally not believable that Neeson could do all that considering he never really showcased the intelligence side of his CIA roots. So I'd give it 5/10.

@bawnian-dexeus -- Nah, I think that would've been taking the death to heart-too much. I'm not surprised at all, a lot of films, may I say "action films" do stuff like this. It's extremely difficult to find an action movie that is nearly as good as The Bourne trilogy.
