It may seem a surprise that creators have
managed to squeeze a sequel, but they have!
Liam Neeson is back in his role as
the nervy ex-CIA agent Bryan Mills with a nasty streak for vengeance. He is
posted to Istanbul on a straight forward protection job, unaware that the family
and friends of the gangsters he slaughtered in his first outing plan to take
their bloody revenge (and I think we all know what happens to criminals that cross Bryan Mills).
Although most
critics were not taken by the sequel it's had unprecedented box-office success,
having tripled the takings of the first film in Britain - a true testament to the
film's cult status and our incessant addiction for an escape into the
world of over-the-top espionage.
