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.
