Great

Rating: 8/10 (15 February 2012)

I'd read some poor reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Script not as bad as has been said, lots of action and twists, and I especially liked the uncompromising way the violence was portrayed...no punches pulled, but nothing overdone either. Vancouver looks great...there were two moments where stuff coming at me in 3D made me jump in my seat and laugh .... and I'm not easily surprised. Kate continues to be magnetic in her role and the new roles were well portrayed, although I though Steven Rea, a great actor, was miscast. All in all a satisfying continuation of the series. If you are a fan of the series don't miss it. If it's the first one of these you see, hard to predict how you might react to the intrinsically violent nature of the subject matter.
