First they took his daughter. Now they’re coming for him.
When Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) and his ex-wife (Famke Janssen) are kidnapped during a trip to Istanbul, their daughter (Maggie Grace) tries to help them break free. The first movie was directed by the Transporter cinematographer, the second by the Transporter 3 director; Luc Besson has obviously built a stable of reliable B-action talent. This sequel connects with the original storywise, but gives Grace more to do. That’s a good thing, because as a whole this corny series is starting to look very tired. Nifty use of hand grenades, though.
