Sequel to surprise hit promises just as much action, more deaths

Revenge is a dish best served cold but, that definitely doesn't apply where Liam Neeson is concerned. The first trailer for “Taken 2” has been released and, as you can see for yourself above, he's just as dangerous if you mess with him or his family.

“Taken” (2008) was a surprise hit and established Neeson as the new action movie hero for awesome B-movies, so it's no wonder it got a sequel as well.

It sees the return of the main cast: Neeson, Maggie Grace (his daughter) and Famke Janssen (his ex-wife who appears to have ditched her new husband), and some of the baddies from the first film or, at the very least, their blood-thirsty relatives.

This time, the action is set in Istanbul and sees Neeson's character go after the guys who have his ex-wife. His daughter will help him out and all chaos will break loose.

“Taken 2” will be out on October 5. Really, no one should mess with The Neeson.
