Taken 2

Contains moderate threat and violence

violence
There are a number of scenes featuring shootings and explosions as well as some moments of hand-to-hand fighting. The shootings occasionally show brief bullet impacts but there is no focus on blood or injury detail. The scenes of hand-to-hand combat include sight of punches, kicks and throws. Although there are some crunchy sound effects, no strong injury detail is seen.
threat and horror
There are scenes of threat as people are chased and captured by the gang, as well as when they attempt to get away from them. After the main character's wife is kidnapped, she is shown bound and suspended upside down. It is suggested that a small wound has been made on her throat with the intention of bleeding her to death. However, no detail of this is shown and she is soon rescued. Later in the film she is seen tied to a chair as she is menaced by the gang. However, no harm comes to her.
additional issues
There is some mild bad language, including uses of 'bastard', 'goddamn', 'shit' and 'God'.

This work was originally seen for advice. The company was advised that the film was likely to receive a 15 rating but that their preferred 12A rating could be achieved by making changes to three scenes. These were to reduce elements of violence and threat. When an edited version of the film was submitted for formal classification, the scenes had been reduced and the film was consequently rated 12A.
