On a breezy evening in early October, hundreds of screaming fans occupied the streets of Times Square to meet the star of the eminent Taken series, Liam Neeson, and revel in a special sneak preview of the highly anticipated sequel Taken 2.

Annoyingly, after an excellent opening weekend, it seems that Taken 2 has made enough money to seemingly justify the studio’s contentious decision to cut the film down for a softer 12A certificate in the UK.

Taken 2 is gearing up the publicity machine ahead of its October 5th release, recently giving us an exclusive look on YouTube of Liam Neeson's particular set of skills, and now we get a sneak peek at some of the action and stunt work of the film.

The year started slow, with only a handful of great films sneaking in. The Summer proved a disappointment when it should have been the greatest geek even since the Summer of 1982.
