My new favorite past-time is watching Liam Neeson punch things, be they wolves, billionaires, or terrorists. I will admit that my bias of Neeson may have given me rose colored glasses towards this movie, but I loved every second of it. It wasn't as good as the original, mostly because the plot is stretched a little thin; however, it was tense, fast-paced, and a lot of fun. Maggie Grace is every bit as annoying as the first movie, but she does manage to get a good car chase in, and Famke Janssen lends her understated talent in a larger role for this film (though she does have a bag over head for most of the film, which sucks). Turn the brain off, sit back with your large popcorn, and enjoy the punching. So. Much. Punching!
