The movie was absolutely phenomenal. I feel that with Emily Blunt's character's by-the-bookness out of the picture the film could work more on the action sequences. The series in general has a formula that seems to work well for it. The soundtrack, the way it builds up suspense, the acting, and above all else; the gritty dark realism. If you see a bad review of this movie then it's probably from a Liberal that is incapable of perceiving the unfortunate truth of reality.All in all this movie is a must watch. You need to see the first movie which better explains why Del Torro is motivated to kill.

If all you are interested in is brainless action and violence then this is the movie for you. But from a technical perspective this movie made absolutely no since. The story line was very flawed. And the editing was atrocious. It was so poorly thrown together I spent the movie looking for the mistakes. And in the end I left the theater. embarrassed for anyone associated with making this piece of garbage.

Going in to watch this i expected another one of those sequels that just show off their budget with better CGI and more quick-pace action sequences. But that's not the case when it comes to this one... This movie is really well written and well directed. The story feels very real and throughout i felt like i easily could've believed this was a true story if they said so. There were also some unexpected plot twists that i really liked and didn't expect but were awesome. The directing just added to the realism and in putting you in certain situations for ex. by focusing on the right stuff instead of showing off with expensive CGI sequences (but CGI is used really well at the right places, actually i'm not sure if it actually was CGI). The acting was superb as well, of course. Overall i loved this movie especially for it's original story and great directing. The movie kept me on the edge of my seat and interested for the whole 2 hours with the right mix of drama/thriller and action.

I didn't watch part 1 of the franchise. So not sure where they are coming from. But I liked the vibe this movie gave me. I was a sense of thrill what got me hooked and I didn't look at my watch once what often happens when I er bored watching a movie. Josh Brolin is rapidly becoming one my top 10 fav actors. I like him, good acting. believable guy. Benicio Del Toro also an great actor. Good facial features and good acting. The storyline wasn't that thrilling for me, but the vibe is what I liked about it. Great music and nice scenes in between. Loved the action scenes too. They could have done better with the storyline, making it a bigger movie. It's a nice enjoyable movie, nothing more.
