I had the very same question upon seeing Taken 2 as I did when I heard about Hangover 2. "How did they manage to work themselves into that position again". I've already learned to not take a keen interest in sequels that are just milking it, not after the first few times.

So, like, the sequel to your keen interest is inexorable disinterest.
I sense a life theme, here.
And also, it's absolutely obvious in both cases how they worked themselves into that scenario again; another stag party and the mates of the people he killed in the first one aren't happy and take advantage of his family holiday to a muslim country and kidnap his wife while he tries to protect his daughter.
If you make up the cards then sure, currently the idea floating around is just "TBD". It's been so long that we forgot what it even means, I can't remember who was supposed to go to the library to look it up.
It is, isn't it? Does it ever get better?

I shouldn't be surprised.
You mentioned Brick in a different thread and even though I tried hard to like that film, I absolutely could not. It wasn't entertaining in the slightest and preferred, instead, to pander to the highbrow art aficionado who looks for exposition of certain facets of a film before he allows himself to be immersed in the overall experience.
Now I'm not saying that you're a highbrow art aficionado but, basically, if you weren't entertained by Taken, then you're a highbrow art aficionado who looks for exposition of certain facets of a film before he allows himself to be immersed in the overall experience.
Taken was the best action film of the last, idk, five years. Provided, of course, you allow yourself the luxury of the suspension of disbelief.
Which I think is what watching a film is all about.
