If you don’t have a whiny, teenaged kid, then watch this latest trailer for Taken 2 . Although Maggie Grace , as Kim, is ostensibly playing a woman in her 20s, she’s behaving just like a 15-year-old! Even under life or death circumstances, adolescents can behave as if they are stuck in their own little personal pool of molasses, and it’s up to Dad — or Mom — to gnash some teeth, raise the voice and light a fire under the kid’s reluctant ass. Enter Liam Neeson , as as retired no-nonsense CIA operative Bryan Mills. The man knows how to wield the tough love while brandishing a gun, and after a fog-burning “C’mon! Kim! Move!” his little girl is maneuvering that Mercedes Benz taxi around Istanbul, or wherever the hell they are, like she’s Ryan Gosling in Drive . Now that’s good parenting!
