Le mauvais camp 2

I enjoyed the series and the first movie. I started watching this and knew within 7 minutes that this was going to be a disappointment. Boy I was not wrong.

1. Niece-having a niece fine. Having someone around that only serves as plot armor in providing stupidity to keep the story going...not good. Remember the Las Vegas zombie movie where Dave Bautisa daughter got everyone killed? Yes, this niece is the same and for some stupid reason she is a primary focus.

2. Random characters, no consistent plotline, dumb Hallmark moments that does nothing to propel the story and horrendous score/music being played during all action scenes tells you about everything you need to know.

Ferry the serie had so many good actors and a fitting storyline. From there the level start to decline. Now in Ferry 2 we see that Frank Lammers is not able to carry the entire movie. So many good characters have been cut out of the series/movie such a shame. Bad storyline where a bunch of bad acting kids with the same behaviour in a dangerous world. Everything is tattered and now they like so many other follow ups after succes. Nowhere has been searched for the deepness. I really think this is a missed opportunity. If they put a little bit more experienced actors in the movie Frank would be able to make it legend again.

The story is nothing more than a copies from the older episodes with younger and much worse actors. It's terrible what Netflix done to the great character Ferry.

My advice is don't watch the movie if you loved the older movies and series like undercover and ferry the series.

There is only one reason... Money, money, money. It's like matrix 4.

I'm feeling sad about the ferry 2 and cancel my Netflix from today.

There is nothing more to say about it but the required characters of my comment are min. 600.

The last real good movie from the Netflix universe was long time ago... Our only chance is to cancel the subscription.

After the success of the original series and the first spin-off movie, Ferry 2 feels like a bad trip-or worse, an overdose-in multiple ways. What could have been a worthy continuation of an intriguing storyline instead devolves into a poorly executed cash grab that leaves me (and apparently other fans) disillusioned.

The casting of the co-lead characters is, quite frankly, appalling. There's little chemistry or believability in their performances, which only serves to magnify the shallowness of the three main supporting roles. These one-dimensional characters are unconvincing at best, cartoonishly unrealistic at worst. Their lack of depth makes it nearly impossible to connect, care or remember about their presence in the story.

The film's scenario, scenery and events (cooking meth and firing a gun unnoticed in a Police/Fire-station) are riddled with flaws and inconsistencies-many of which have been pointed out in other reviews as well. From plot holes to poorly thought-out sequences, the narrative fails to hold up under even minimal scrutiny. It's clear that neither the writers nor the directors invested the necessary effort to craft a compelling or cohesive story.

And then there's Ferry himself, portrayed by Frank Lammers. While his performance remains solid, his omnipresence in commercials airing hundreds of times a day during this holiday season in the Netherlands creates an overexposure that detracts from the character's impact. It's a shame that Netflix and the director's team opted for this money-driven -Christmas-time release-shortcut rather than focusing on the quality and originality that made the franchise successful in the first place.

In the end, Ferry2 feels like an unnecessary addition that tarnishes what could have been a strong legacy. For me, they should have left Ferry where he was and redirected their efforts toward creating a fresh, compelling narrative. This sequel is a another glaring reminder that not every story needs to be stretched to its limits-and beyond.

The script of "Ferry 2" is quite basic. There's really no element of surprise; everything is very conventional, but as it's presented with such authenticity and seriousness, I didn't mind watching these characters quickly run through all the clichés associated with gangster movies.

The action design, cinematography, stunts, acting, and editing in these scenes are genuinely realistic and have enough dynamism to keep you on the edge of your seat. Each action sequence feels authentic and contributes to the film's narrative tension.

Frank Lammers is excellent, as always. He's been playing this character for the last 6 years, and it's truly incredible that he continues to find so many interesting facets of this gangster. His performance brings depth and humanity to a character that could easily be stereotyped.

The moment Jezabel comes back into his life, Ferry abandons any hint of normality he had achieved and reverts to his old ways. In a way, this probably suits Ferry's character well: unpredictable and irresponsible, with a streak of madness, adding an interesting twist to his development.

We follow the same path, but this time with a group of kids who don't know what they're doing, making Ferry the most mature one. It's odd and quirky, but it moves at breakneck speeds and has an innocence that feels fresh. This change in dynamic offers a new and entertaining perspective on the character and his world.

In conclusion, "Ferry 2" doesn't redefine the genre of gangster films, but its authenticity and the commitment of its cast, particularly Frank Lammers, make it worth watching. The movie manages to hold interest despite its predictable script, thanks to the energy of its sequences and the exploration of new aspects of Ferry's character.
