Force 2

Abhinay Deo is decent as a director. I was impressed with his direction in Delhi Belly. But this movie just didn't match my expectations for him. The prequel wasn't bad but the direction and action were pretty sloppy done by Nishikant Kamat and Ayananka Bose. This movie was a bit better than the prequel but with nothing to tell.

John Abraham has good abs but can't act. His rough humor and acting turns out to be a snooze fest but his acting was bearable during the action scenes and that's basically it.

Sonakshi Sinha was okay in some parts. At least she is doing some sensible roles just like Akira because I am tired of seeing her waiting for Chulbul Pandey cutting vegetables.

Tahir Raj Bhasin was great as a villain. I believe he brought some good mentality from Mardaani in which he also performed well.

The story and screenplay was the biggest downfall in this movie. It is almost like Jason Bourne-Mad Max combo but with no script. The direction was okay in some parts usually when it came to action sequences but the editing was a bit too problematic in such when they were doing aerial shots but the editing of the action sequences were good and crisp. The music was a disappointment except Rang Laal where JA kills it with his voice and rap. Abhinay Deo managed to give good action just like the car chasing, building chasing, shooting, and etc. The cinematography was also pretty good especially when they roped in Imre Juhasz who was a DOP for Die Hard.

This movie also presented RAW in a very bad way in such of missions and etc. Narendra Jha was quite bad as a Raw senior and he was over the top.

I felt Genelia wasn't needed but since it was sequel, I was okay with it but her role kinda stretched the movie to a small extent which took up a bit of the time especially when there was a song dedicated to it.

Overall this movie was okay in terms of Action and Tahir's acting but the partial mediocre direction and screenplay bought the film down which is why Force 2 is definitely worth watching but on a TV Broadcast or a Netflix.

2/5- action improved but story needs to be improved

Another great action flick of John.John is taking Bollywood action movies to the next level. This movie indeed has maintained the legacy of Force. The story is pretty good with some nice twists and turns. This movie has also emphasized on the fact that the best patriots of our country are mostly branded as traitors and dishonored after death till date. Apart from these things the new concept of first person action has been brought to the Indian movies for the first time in this movie (watching that was real fun). Sonakshi was good but without her I do not think much difference would have been there in the story line. John is super awesome in angry hunk look but after Vidyut Jamwal cameo role, I would say the villain's role could have been more mean in the sequel which was utterly missing. Overall I would say it is a good movie and would perfectly satisfy the appetite for all the action freaks out there. The best part of the movie is that it is not spoiled by unnecessary romantic songs. I would conclude by saying I am eagerly watching for our desi Arnold's next action movie.

I rarely watch Hindi/Hinglish action movies as I am not keen on the formula themes, but I watched this and found it to be fairly good. It has a good story, a good theme, and enough to keep engaged. The theme is upbeat, and that is something that stays with you. There are still elements of sentimentalism of the formula movies that are distracting at times. If you set those aside it is good. Acting is not great, but good. It could have been even better. There are plot holes for the critically minded. These type of Hindi/Hinglish movies need to mature more, by avoiding over dramatizations - acting should be casual enough to make them feel realistic rather than put on. The story is original enough for Indian audience and the action is decent enough with semblance of Bourne, Equalizer genre. But hey- just giving the effort a break....

Now these days John is also making good movies like Akshay.

Movie has good story, great action & screenplay.

Keeps you at edge of chair. It has nice thrill & suspense. Best Acting & Photography.

I recommended to watch it in theater.

+ point is you won't feel bored as movie is only 2 hours long unlike other bollywood movies.

Keep up the good work John and Abhinay Deo.

Want to see more such work from the team.

Thanks for reading my review

Force 2 continues the story of ACP Yashwardhan. Sonakshi sinha plays the role of 'KK', a RAW agent and Tahir raj bhasin is the incredible villain 'Shiv'.

Plot summary :- The movie starts with the killing of 3 RAW agents in China. This is followed by a fight scene where ACP Yash (John Abraham) is seen lifting a car. Yash receives a book from his friend, which was a message from his friend. Soon it is understood that there is someone within the RAW who is leaking the information of Indian agents to the Chinese. Yash and KK are assigned the job to identify and catch that person and bring him back to India.

Tahir Raj Bhasin as the villain is the main highlight of this movie, the way he plays with the minds of the lead protagonists and always keeps them guessing. John and Sonakshi are pretty OK in their acting. Genelia has a guest appearance, which feels rather unnecessary.

Towards the climax, there is an entire sequence shot in first-person which is something new to Bollywood, something quite nice and enjoyable. The plot is a bit shaky but still manages to keep you engaged till the end.

Overall a decent watch. 7/10
