Neeson has said that they wont be doing a third and thats a pretty good thing because if this is the level that they're going with then i think we're better off without a third. |
In terms of the dumb moments, I couldn't believe the whole driving sequence when the daughter, who had only had a few urban driving lessons, was suddenly able to drive round the alleys and backstreets of Istanbul like a world champion rally driver, left foot braking and sliding around the tightest of corners. I know films like this need a certain degree of willing suspense of disbelief, but that was just taking it too far.
