Bryan uses grenades to help Kim locate him

The film peaks during Bryan's ingenious grenade triangulation sequence but crashes during the rushed finale and awkward epilogue.
Taken 2 starts with solid setup and builds effectively through creative action sequences, particularly the grenade location method and Istanbul car chases. However, the film loses momentum in its final act with a rushed climax and unsatisfying conclusion that left many reviewers disappointed compared to the original's tighter execution.
