Not as good as it could have been, but still fun!

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2004)

I didn't mind the plot, or the writing. I did however, get a little tired of the "shaky camera" style direction for each and every action scene. Why this style of directing action scenes is so prevalent and popular nowadays, I have no idea. It is really frustrating to finally see good, realistic action and not be able to see their moves clearly. I love the fighting style, much more realistic than 99% of movies. I just wish (as I always do) that directors would have a bit more confidence in their action choreographers and let the audience appreciate what the actors/actresses are doing.
Other than that, great movie! As with the first movie, that action scenes are realistic and well-choreographed. Good plot and writing. My only other complaint would be the lack of T+A shown in a Russian club!
