Movie Trailer: Is Taken 2 the Hangover 2 of Liam Neeson Films? See For Yourself

Is Taken 2  a good or bad idea?  

Well, that's a pretty complicated question.  I'm going to talk about how I felt about a sequel before I saw this trailer and then after I saw this trailer.

Before I Saw This Trailer:  Was Taken 2 A Good or Bad Idea?

Taken 2 was a good idea.  Liam Neeson has proved that no matter how dull and trivial the plot of a film is, the action puts the whole audience on-the-rails.  You don't have to know who's who, or who just died.  Who cares?  Aslong as Liam is snapping someone's neck, or disarming someone just to shot them, their friend, their dog, their goldfish, and then shoot them AGAIN, it's worth it.  No one can kill you as cool as Liam will kill you.  He's like the new Steven Seagal, minus the racism.

Description:Liam Neeson (Schindler's List, Taken) stars as the unlikely hero Ottway in this undeniably suspenseful and powerful survival adventure. After their plane crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness, a roughneck group of oil drillers is forced to find a way back to civilization. As Ottway leads the injured survivors through the brutal snow and ice, they are relentlessly tracked by a vicious pack of rogue wolves that will do anything to defend their territory.

Adrenaline-fueled, action-packed and loaded with some of the most intense and brutally realistic attack scenes ever filmed, The Grey is being hailed as "a thriller you can sink your teeth into!" (The Washington Post).

 

What I Thought About It:      4.5 out of 5 
( You Could Wait, But WHY?!)

The Grey makes Alive look like a film about a bunch of men crashing a plane in Disney Land.  While the main foe perceived by viewers of the trailer were super wolves, always remember "Trailers Lie".  This film is about the physical, mental, and even spirtual struggle these survivors have to fight against when dealing with the perils of mother nature.  This film showcases how easily natural elements can become the predators, preying upon men you use what little they have, ultimately to no avail.  This film is dark, gritty, savage, thrilling, and just bloody-beautiful.  Have you ever wondered if you could survive such a situation?  If so,   THIS MOVIE IS FOR YOU!
