Completely Awesome! In Many Ways Better Than the First!

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2003)

The line on this before I saw it was: too much plot. Not enough action. Slow first hour. A disappointment, but still worth seeing.
I'm glad I had not expectations because I was blown away. While it did take a few minutes to pick up, there were literally so many ideas and notions presented in the sequel that we were talking about it for hours.
The action scenes were unbelievable. This one had an even darker, more menacing tone than the first (and definitely a lot more sexual).

And you can't set up a cliffhanger any better than they set up the third movie--talk about a white-knuckler!
See it for yourself. Forget about the first one, just go in there and think of it as its own, as one person here put it, "thinking person's action movie." You won't forget it.
Even better than I had hoped.
