“We will find him, and we will have our revenge,” says the film’s bad guy, (Rade Sherbedgia) who appears to be the father of the Albanian mafia member Mills famously promised to find and kill. He kept that promise, viewers will recall.

As for Neeson’s character, the retired CIA operative is living a fine life in Turkey, when he receives a surprise visit from his daughter (Maggie Grace) and her mother (Famke Janssen). That’s when things go wrong, as foreshadowed by shady men eyeing the reunited family in their hotel lobby.

The trailer delivers what is promised from a Taken sequel, with Neeson giving a popular line from the first film a new twist.
