Great movie. Great mix with Danny Trejo and Danny Glover. Very funny movie. Good to see Danny Trejo in comedy. Danny Glover still has it as a great actor. Both together is an excellent mix. Thought the first movie was good. The second even better. Will be watching the third part soon. So good to see Trejo play a role other that a killer. He is a good comedian along with Glover
... View MoreNot spectacular in any ways but if you like liked the first one then I don't see why you shouldn't at least enjoy this one.Plotwise I guess it's nothing that's gonna win any awards, fairly similar to the first one but I really enjoy Danny Trejo as Frank Vega.Usually Trejo gets to play only one-dimensional angry all the time bad asses but Frank Vega has a little more layers to him, of course he's still bad ass but he does have a more sensitive side to him as well as being rather funny from time to time.And Danny Glover is a nice addition to the franchise, even though there are limitations to what he can do in terms of bad assness his character is funny.Dante Basco is listed in the credits, but honestly I didn't see him, and I imagine I would have recognized him if I did... But he's listed as 'gangly Asian guy' so maybe he was in the background in some scene. Or his scene were cut out for some reason. Just thought I'd point that out.Anyways yeah if you liked the first one give it a go, have not seen the third one yet but is looking forward to doing so when possible.
... View MoreI am at a loss to place this film, I'm not even sure if I enjoyed it or not, or if I could recommend it.This is an action film with a ridiculous plot where some old guys have to go and beat up some other guys; but that really isn't important.This isn't a 'serious' action movie like Die Hard or Transporter but it isn't a full send up like Black Dynamite or Gravy Train.The production is strange. Normally when someone throws a grenade you get a slow motion sequence of the grenade in flight, followed by a close up of the villains face, then a few seconds of explosion. Here grenade leaves hand the next frame is bad guy blowing up.There is lots of action, the fight scenes are fast and furious but aren't particularly well choreographed. Glover and Trejo deliver their cheesy lines and punch people adequately enough.Don't take this too serious and you may enjoy. I did... I think.
... View Moreunfortunately, the makers went for R with too much nudity, vulgar language and gobs of violence the kinds of b/c movie fights, with the old Karate/ Kongfu stuff showing on screens that the bad guys are watching. sorry. that's crass. So, if you liked the first one, you'll probably like this one. If you stumbled on this one by mistake, know you're in for some real bad car chase shots that look totally fake to a 12 year old and a thin story that leaves much deserved. Sorry to rain on your parade. While I am sure both Dannys had fun with the others making this movie, I had very little fun sitting through. Suspension of disbelief level required : 9/10. Beyond me.
