    A London businessman named Quan (Jackie Chan) is devastated when his daughter is killed in a terrorist attack. He seeks revenge against those responsible, and his pursuit soon leads him to a shady British politician (Pierce Brosnan) with ties to the terrorist organization.

    Has anyone seen this? It's coming to Netflix UK this Friday. Looks promising.

    It was OK. Basically another installment using the 'Taken' formula but with more political involvement.

    It was pretty good, at least better than my expectations. Farfetched as you would expect of this genre but entertaining enough.

    I don’t know why they went with some weird Game of Thrones-esque subplot. That was just out of left field.

    6.5/10
