Liam Neeson Is "The Best" In New 'Taken 2' Trailer

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: | Updated on June 29, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

Liam Neeson has threaten to come and find moviegoers if don’t sit through his new minute and a half Taken 2 movie trailer.

Taken 2 is the sequel to Neeson’s bada$$ 2009 action film Taken. In that film, Neeson’s character went to no lengths to rescue his teenage daughter after she was kidnapped by a sex slave operation. Sequels don’t always live up to the original, but if a person were to judge this film’s trailers, Taken 2 looks like it may foot the bill.

The official synopsis for Taken 2 read:

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 the father of one of the kidnappers 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.

Taken 2 is slated to hit theaters October 5. Below is the new Internet-only trailer that debuted late last night on Youtube. Watch it, along with an intense intro message from Neeson himself in his usually raspy voice:

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
