On par for part II's

Rating: 7/10 (6 October 2012)

Lets get the obvious criticism out of the way... "its not as good as the first one".
That being said, its a fun movie. The good guys are likable and you can get behind them. It lacked the 'Death Wish' grit and determination of the first movie though, and came across as a routine action film with car chases and shootouts. Like many sequels the plot reflects that it was written just for the sake of making a sequel to a popular movie. The premise is a little too convenient- Mills brings his family for a vacation right into the back yard of the guys looking for revenge on him. (thats not a spoiler, you can deduced that from the commercials). But you can still have fun watching this movie, especially if you liked the first one.
Overall I'd recommend checking this out on DVD or Netflix. Its decent, but not quite worth spending $40 for tix and popcorn for two.
