Excellent, smart action film.

Absolutely brilliant

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Don't expect an Almodovar film but overall, not a bad movie. Entertaining, with lots of eye candy. Several interesting plots that intersected pretty well even if at times I asked myself "why doesn't so and so do this" or "why is so and so such a wet rag." Nevertheless, pretty enjoyable even if my personal choice would have been a different ending because I have a weakness for the underdog and for those who show undying loyalty and who know that loving someone sometimes requires the biggest sacrifice of all.
