I think "more of the same" is too kind - it's rather "two steps back". Why were the action scenes so few and far between? Why was there only one real parkour chase? Why were the action scenes so poorly edited and shot? Why was there no big fight/climax at the end with the main villains? How come NOBODY could lay a finger on these dudes? (Seriously, these guys were more untouchable than Silver-Era Seagal) The plot with the dirty cops and the Rodney King videotape stuff was positively low-rent compared to the Escape From New York -stakes of the first one. It's only the end that makes it feel like a sequel. And speaking of which.... SPOILER Uhhh...I thought they hinted that the buildings were NOT evacuated. So did the heroes just wipe out a whole bunch of innocent people? And will Harriburton end up rebuilding the projects anyway or what? Hugely disappointing in every respect.

I used to be but I stumbled onto an better way to buy tools I would like to share with others tool fanatics! If you're an serious Handyman, you probably will be aware that having the correct power tools for any jobs you do is so important, however knowing where to get the best deals can be very difficult. But, there is a better way to purchase tools at much lower prices. If you wish to save a bundle, like 60% to 70% off standard costs, you should take a look at this blog named http://reconditioned-powertools.com. The prices for tools like Bosch, Bostitch, Fein, Milwaukee and other brands will save a bundle on your next project! Getting tired of super expensive prices on name brand Power Tools?

I was pretty disappointed myself. I agree that it didn't try to top the last one. I felt like there wasn't any really amazing action sequences... I kept waiting for it and it seemed like it never came. And the ending seemed really anti-climatic... like all the gangs just showed up to lecture or something. The Van Gogh fighting was kind of cool and there was at least one decent parkour chase. And that Asian woman gang leader was just too cheesey. I mean I expect that sort of thing from a movie like this, but all the clan leaders together at the end made me think of superhero team or something. I just happened to watch this last night.

Vern, now that you're into French movies, how about trying the new Largo Winch movie, starring Tomer Sisley as Largo. It's quite good, with some Bourne style camerawork and good action sequences (especially the finale). You'd like it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808339 Yeah, I liked this one too, even though it’s basically more of the same.

They've got this one, just recently had Red Cliff, Paintball (horror movie), and they've got Warlords coming soon. They're really showing some great DTV / foreign stuff lately.
