A step up from the first one.

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2007)

This is a rare event for a sequel, a film actually better than the first one was. Kristofferson and Snipes are both true to form, and the beating and bashing sequences are much better. Also there is somewhat less gore in this film, and it really isn't all that necessary. If I have any complaint it is with all of the jarring music in the film. It tends to wear thin on your nerves after a while. With the exception of Ron Pearlman the secondary characters do not come off as memorable as in the first feature. All in all, however, this feature is an enjoyable way to pass two hours. I hope the third film in the series is at least as entertaining.
