I just keep wondering at the premise....I mean what are the odds that someone would be taken from him twice? Pretty astronomical if you ask me; particularly taking someone from a guy like him?

Which begs the question, will someone be taken a third time to complete the requisite action movie franchise trilogy?

And will it have a climactic scene in a deserted warehouse?

Famke Janssen would be worth the price of admission!

I have a bad feeling about a sequel. Unless he starts an agency to recover other people's relatives, this is going to be ridiculous. And if it is just a job, where is the passion?

I enjoyed the first movie.

As any "super hero" movies, the plot had to be taken with a little "salt", however, it is indeed a VERY nice movie which I enjoyed watching with my wife.

The passion, excitement, action are all there. To say the least, there is a connection between passion and action cause there's anxiety to save the daughter.

Seriously, I wonder how this same passion can be revived ... BUT I believe in Hollywood's magic to weave something extraordinary to capture our attention and monies!
