not to mention him having the time to make a phone call to his buddy while a couple of soldiers are just standing at the top of the steps looking on even after that same car just took out the guard's booth of the US Embassy. Oh, and he's out and about looking for his wife half an hour after all that? Something tells me that the Embassy wouldn't be so accommodating.
They were standing there because someone shouted out that it was suicide bombers, so they were not about to walk right up to the car. The part about being able to walk out after the destruction he wreaked is spot on though. -

According to this movie, speed of sound is ~1125 m/s (!), not 340 m/s.
Looks like they Googled it quickly and found 1,236 KM/h, but did not notice the KM/h part.
Apparently they forgot to convert it to M/s.
and the scene where bad guys trapped his car in the street with a van and a SUV, the guy in the van opened fire on the windshield trying to kill him, but when they meet in the building after the chase, they decided to throw the guns away and fight just like in a Chuck Norris movie.
This movie is a total fail.
BTW Turkey and Albania has no borders, and if it had, I'm sure it wouldn't be just a wooden barricade with 3 guards. -

Haha I said the same thing to my boyfriend!! He crashed the car at the embassy, and then…he gets out and looks around for his wife! Haha! They would have detained him for questioning! It didn't make sense! But this is a good fun bad movie though!

I agree.
His plan of action was to escape the enemy by going head on with a weapon that could essentially obliterate him and his daughter instead?
I think the gun was more of a problem then escaping.
I guess Liam Neeson's character was whatever the story needed him to be.

"Plus, the US embassy is not in Topkapi palace either."
Plus, the US embassy is not located in Istanbul, but Ankara - hundreds of miles away. The first time he told her to go there, I thought she was going to take a bus or train. There is a consulate in Istanbul, though.

thought exactly the same thing, in "Taken" Bryan was calculated and methodical,he was like a terminator all his moves made sense. In this one he wasn't the same person.
He got kim to hide in his room in the closet where the villains will of course look for her, dumb.
He got kim to throw grenades 3 times, only checking for a safe place to do so the first time, dumb.
He allows Kim to run around on rooftops carrying grenades, (after telling her to blend in) while obviously going to be pursued looking for flags that are blowing a certain direction, how did he know which way the wind was blowing? Dumb.
Bryan from the original Taken would have had her get to safety at the embassy no matter what, no debate.
Also after they stopped at the embassy after being shot at why did the soldiers not descend on the car calling them to come out? Bryan has a whole conversation with kim, makes a phonecall and the next minute he's wondering around the area he was taken.
The whole film was ridiculous unlike the first where I just thought "wow"
you can pick this apart without even trying. -

yeah, not as solid as the first one, but still entertaining nonetheless.

I haven't seen this movie yet but it sounds like bad Boys 2 where Will Smith and Martin Lawrence crash a Hummer into Guantanamo Bay and the soldiers actually are shooting at them.
And I thought Istanbul would have a consulate, not an embassy, since its not a capital city. -

Guys, think about this. It was the heat of the moment. Neither character has their passports, identification or whatever so said proof could be used to prove their status as american citzens. Not only that, time wasn't truly in their hands due to gravity of the situation at hand. So what to do? Listen to Bryan Mills and just go dukes of hazard right through the embassy!

The embassy should have cement barricades to prevent high-speed explosive vehicles. This entire scene, and everything about it was retarded.
Still a good action flick, but just one of the bunch.

What had me scratching my head was how someone could crash through an embassy baracade and then be out on the streets within 5 minutes. What, no interrogation, shadowing by current CIA or military personnel concerned about a loose cannon shooting up the streets of an allied country?
