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

After a successful first attempt on action genre, John is giving only these type of films in which he should meant to be. Rocky Handsome was an action-thriller, which will be accepted by the viewers. And this time, the sequel of a hit action movie, is going to be bigger and better for sure.

Abhinay Deo, who gave Game and Delhi Belly, is not a known name in the audience. But, if I say that he was the director of the television series 24, than most probably all the viewers will recognize him. So, there isn't any doubt in his capabilities in action goner. But, to build up a story which can withstand with action sequences is the most important.

One guy is on a mission, in which he is killing RAW agents in China. But, one agent sends a secret message to Yash (John) before his death. So, Yash convinces RAW head to allow him to find out the villain along with one RAW officer, KK (Sonakshi). And how they manage to catch that guy, and what made that guy to do these violence are the questions which will be given in the film.

Sonakshi is good in a supporting role. She is not doing some extraordinary, but choosing these kind of films is somewhat good for her, as she is back in action after Akeera. Raj Babbar, Fardhad and Adil have cameos. Tahir Raj Bhasin as a bad-guy (Shiv) again proves that he is a new-generation villain. After giving a solid performance in Mardani, he gives another best. Hope to see his name in the category of best actor in a negative role this year.

John Abraham has to do only these kind of films. He is perfectly suitable for action hunk roles. And now a days, he is also producing such films. So, I think John will run like a horse of a race, and will stay for long.

It's very essential to keep in mind that action film has to be more speedy, more groovy. In which, a side angle of love, or even boring songs can disturb the tempo. So, the director has kept these in his mind and gives us just an item song. Believe me, that was a dull moment. Even, one background portion in Amaal's voice has to be played when Genelia Deshmukh makes an appearance. That was good.

I like all the chases. With a perfectly suitable background score, one can feel the sequences. Especially, the action sequence in an apartment where Shiv is playing a mouth-organ, and both the actors are fighting. That tune is a highlight of the film till interval. The other highlight of the film is John, uplifting a Mercedes. After lifting a bike in the first part, John is lifting a Mercedes. And I've heard that he will keep doing this in the upcoming installments of Force.

So, action lovers, just brace yourself and go for it. In climax, you can see the camera working like a counter-strike game, featuring only a loaded gun in a hero's hand, who is destroying the bad-men. In a film, I think this is a new concept, and I appreciate this thinking.

I've seen some ratings, and they are above 8. So, people are loving it. Therefore, just go for it, you will not be disappointed.

A very old typical story. So predicting story.

Action is good but it was not good as the previous Force movie.

The last movie had some story but this one was so empty. The beginning has some story but after the interval movie has zero story. Now let's talk about acting, I felt Villain is the Hero and Hero is the Villain, I don't know why, but I felt it.

The villain of this movie was so good and He has done an amazing job. I really enjoyed villain acting scenes more than Hero's. I personally feel that Sonakshi Sinha is not an actress.

John Abraham: 7/10

Sonakshi Sinha: 3/10

Tahir Raj Bhasin: 9/10

Editing: 6/10

Direction: 7/10

Story: 3/10

Music: 4/10

Abhinay Deo done a great job doing Delhi Belly, but Nishikant Kamat is the best director for this kind of movies.

Overall Nice Movie, One-time Watch...

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 is a pure Action film in concentrated form. It is a watchable film with more action, more style & less substance. Cinematography is good. I like the first-person camera fight in the climax, which is new in Bollywood.

Abhinay Deo's direction is perfect in chase scenes. The most interesting element in Force 2 is Tahir, the bad guy. John is perfectly suitable for these roles. Sonakshi is also good in supporting role.

I am giving 1 extra point because this film gives justification to it's genre.

VERDICT: If you are an action lover......GO FOR IT
