what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
