1.As soon as the daughter, Kim, starts getting involved above her station, my heart sank. The whole map thing, ok, I can look beyond that, but the driving scenes - NO WAY. First off, Brian had enough time to take over the driver's seat and nudge Kim across. There is NO WAY she could drive like that and get away with it, she had not even passed her test AND no seatbelt. I think even Jason Bourne wore seatbelts.
2. THe Albanians were mafia, fine, I get that, but really, they are not that sophisticated, I was slightly surprised they found Brian but I bought it. Anyway, they certainly are not great fighters, they are just peasant chancers in this sex trafficking industry and I can never believe in a million years that some short, fat Albanian in a tracksuit who lives on a farm could take on the sublime skills of Brian we saw in TAKEN 1. NO WAY.
3. There were not enough fighting scenes (hand to hand combat). There were more gun fighting scenes and this was a disappointment. The quality of the fighting scenes were not as good as TAKEN 1. They were literally bone crunchingly good in 1, but in 2, some of them are a bit lame.
4. That there is going to a be a 3. Even Liam Neeson at the end watching Kim try to park, looked pissed off about it. It's time to draw this curtain to a close.

One of the major problems I had was the scene where the Albanian Mafia are entering Turkey through a quiet back of beyond country road crossing.. though not mentioned, it kind of implied Turkey and Albania are joined together by a border, when reality is they would need to drive through Macedonia, Bulgaria and Greece to get there.

another beep moron who doesn't do his research
they were not albanian mafa
they were military rebels who simply moved onto the sex trade
kind of like the IRA moving onto organized crime
the short fat man as you say it is not fat it was the track suit that makes him look fat
his name is Alain Figlarz and he is a former special forces operative and he is a stunt man with 94 credits he is also the fight choreographer of the movie
here is a beep picture of him with out the track suit

The absolute worst part about the entire film was the editing: one punch warranted five camera angle cuts? Ruined the whole damn thing.

My problems started with scene 1. Why were the Albanians talking English to each other, even when they were standing on a hillside in Evilbania?
