The Debt Collector 2

Very recommendable, action packed fighting movie with a decent yet simple plot. The rating is only being limited to an 8/10 by a few shootout scenes in the movie, which I did enjoy watching, but found a bit too unrealistic compared to the fighting scenes. The fighting scenes are amazing to watch and I was stunned by the quality and attention to detail in these scenes. When it comes to fighting movies, these two movies belong in the very top of the leaderboard.

You may ask yourself after having seen the first one, how could a sequel be made after that ending? But since these are movies ... well that's how it is possible. The chemistry is still there. And they still collect ... so pay up! Well I reckon you are not one of the people they come to collect. Also if everyone was paying up, there would not be action (over the top as it may seem at times - though the bar brawl at the beginning ... dang! It almost overshadows the rest of the movie).

Of course this time around they add a bit of story. So it's not just collecting money and then onto the next one to keep collecting. There is also a bigger riff between our two main leads. While they had a love/hate relationship that brought us many fine moments in the first one, it evolved and now there also some secrets here ... of course you could question some motives, but being angry for someone lying to you is not really something anyone wouldn't get. Having said that, this is more than a decent sequel, that is par blow by blow to the first one, if you like movies in its style

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.

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.

I enjoyed this knowing it's a film about Friendship and Morales. It's an indy production with decent storytelling. Tells a story in 90 minutes. I use to think longer running time was better value when buying a DVD or VOD, but story is more important. Watch part 1 to to value this movie more.
