Review by tabuno

9 June 2012. Poor acting in places, illogical jumps of believable plot outcomes make for a by the numbers sequel. The beginning sequences of an assassin who really doesn't look much like a very good one starts out losing most of the movie's steam by the time the potentially intriguing torus appears again, and yet the international military conflict seems oddly manipulatively even though the hoped for tight script shows through briefly. There are just too many pat answers, predictable outcomes to make this movie really that enjoyable or interesting. This movie is a let down and disappointment. The special effects, especially of the torus which seems a lot worse for wear is perhaps the real disaster. There is too much warmed over from the original to keep a sustained interest.
