This time around, ex-CIA agent Bryan Mills (Neeson) is defending himself and his family from the father of a man whose son was killed when Mills was rescuing his daughter. Turning the tables on Mills is definitely an interesting take on a sequel, since it effectively flips the first film on its head to have us imagine other vengeful fathers protecting their families.
