The Debt Collector 2

Like many sequels, this was just not up to the quality of the first Debt Collector installment. However, I really enjoy Adkins and Mandylor and they are both enjoyable in the movie. Too bad the directing was poor and some action scenes were not done better. Adkins and Mandylor were fine but the gun fighting was "D" rate - AKs at point blank not hitting anyone?? All in all though, I would recommend it to die-hard action fans, just know what to expect.

Well, I was impressed with "The Debt Collector 2" (aka "Debt Collectors").

Now, now, don't get me wrong here. I am not saying that "The Debt Collector 2" is a cinematic masterpiece that would make even Shakespeare proud. But what I do mean is that the movie from writers Jesse V. Johnson and Stu Small was actually a lot better than I initially had hoped. Why? Well, this being a movie with Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor wasn't really the go-to-recipe for a great movie.

But director Jesse V. Johnson managed to churn out a rather enjoyable and entertaining movie. Sure, the storyline was very generic and straight forward with no surprises along the way, so you know what you are in for. But there was just something about the two main characters French (played by Scott Adkins) and Sue (played by Louis Mandylor) that worked so well, and the on-screen chemistry between the two actors. Plus the amount of action and violence throughout the course of the movie definitely helped to spruce things up.

This being an action movie, you know what you are getting. And director Jesse V. Johnson followed the formula of how-to-make-an-action-movie, playing it safe. Hence the generic feel to the movie and the predictable storyline. But it was a good old fashioned action movie that doesn't require a lot of brain activity from the viewers.

And being an action movie also meant that there was little realism as in the amount of beating people to endure, and the amount of bullets fired at the main characters without finding their aim. But hey, it's all good, as this was an action movie meant for entertainment and not realism.

"The Debt Collector 2" is a movie that can be watched more than once, but I think with some years in between each viewing. I was actually adequately entertained by "The Debt Collector 2".

My rating of "The Debt Collector 2" lands on a six out of ten stars. It is actually well worth a viewing, if you have the chance.

Brit martial-artist (he trained in nine disciplines) Scott Adkins does a pretty good job in this sequel. His sidekick Louis Mandylor was no slouch with his fists and the 'best' fight of the movie - was between them both near the end.

Vladimir Kulich appeared for about 4 minutes, and had nothing much to do, unlike the first Debt Collectors, where he was an integral part.

The story? Fuggetaboutit. The premise was collecting overdue money, but in reality this was a goofy buddy movie with plenty of slapstick and comedy thrown in. Marina Sirtis (Counsellor Troy from Star Trek) had a pretty good cameo as a devious business woman.

All and all, if you want 90 minutes of craziness, then give this redo a go. I score it 6/10.

Let's be fair. The first one was good enough as an action film. Literally, this one is up there with the first one as an action film. Moreover, be mentioned, this one contains some twists and turns. Adkins was good as always. How lethal a fighter he is! While Louis did fair enough. It has got action, comedy and emotional truns. Just watch it as it is made. It's fair to bless it with a 7.

It is sequel to Debt Collector. Story is well and presenting also well. Story going straight with no sub plots any more. Lot of actions, gunning, thrills and tension makes this movie watchable. Scott Adkins is as always he is. However there are two hero here not only Scott. Climax is full with tension and end is average but hope give us that we can see third installment. If you have action lovers and especially fan of Scott Adkins then this movie is for you.
