The embassy scene didnt make sense

What had me scratching my head was how someone could crash through an embassy baracade and then be out on the streets within 5 minutes. What, no interrogation, shadowing by current CIA or military personnel concerned about a loose cannon shooting up the streets of an allied country?

Yes, that scene hurts the credibility of the film overall.

That is the only thing that does not make sense to you? There are so many major plot holes in this movie that I don't even care about the detailed ones.

1. Bryan practically stalking the guy's house and legally his wife and child, a multi-millionaire have no security system to even warn him? Well, that’s fine, I am not looking for a dramatic scene but actions, forgivable.

2. The set up of the movie is shown in the trailer. That kind of kill the mood. Sorry, I have to make some complaint about this, albeit the set up does not really show plot hole. It is a simple theme anyway.

3. Everything start to go wrong here: their kidnapping is ok, until he calls daughter. So no one will take advantage or warning that he was calling his daughter (or might be someone else, they did not know that). After that, the counting was pretty cool though.

4. Hiding in the closet? Come on. I doubt my ears when I hear it, I thought the closet has a special lock or something, but turn out that it is just a plain closet.

5. The whole daughter finding them scene. Throw grenades on the roof? It was like OMG, when I watch it. I can tell you countless soldiers in army threw the pin out rather than the grenades and blew their hand off, that is why there are practices before using the real grenades. The map navigation thing, discounting she might be panicking, that skill actually require 10 hours of training and there will be an exam for that to do it properly. I guess it is in her gene.

6. He was talking to a phone about 1.5 foot from him and the guard outside cannot hear it…echo much in that room?

7. I would chain a harmless women and tied up a professional agent with plastic band and a dungeon full with edges and no tie on his feet.

8. Just one guard outside on his jail? Knowing he is important and extremely dangerous.

9. A driver without a license (or even much experience) driving like that without vitally crashing into anything.

10. The embassy thing you pointed out. I might add that there were no one chasing them at that point for about 1 mile.
11. They used the same line so much in this movie that is ridiculously inappropriate.

12. The scale of the first movie is better than this one is ridiculous.

The rest of the movie is just like the first one, which is actually fine. As long as I don’t feel it is ridiculous, I can just enjoy the action. I may still point out a few plot hole that is ridiculous but I probably missed during my toilet break.

I actually still recommend this movie to people. The pace is still fast, the action is still decent and Liam is still cool. Just the first movie is so much better than this one.

in Turkey there is no US marine waiting at the gate of the Embassy! this is not Iraq for god's sake...

It would have been a good idea. He could have dropped her off, when the Marines came over he would had said, "Here's my daughter. I have to go rescue my wife!" and take off!

TAKEN 2 RULES!!!

I think we all knew they were going to ram through the checkpoint, it's that kind of film. The only real sticking points for me was, after the events of the first film, Bryan didn't spend time ensuring Kim had a basic knowledge of self-defence and weaponry. That's the first thing I would have done if I were him.

In real life they would have used a rocket launcher on the taxi long before it hit the U.S Embassy. All the terrorist bombings these days they would rather kill a few people then risk a terrorist attack.

Yeah i agree with you on that when I'm watching this movie i got confused because of that scene.
