Review by BadRoosevelt

This sequel adds to the chronology of the original film about the rage virus and its bloody, violent aftermath. The U. S. military has established a secure perimeter in London. A family is torn apart by the ravages of the virus, while at the same time discovering that miraculous immunity might be possible. The film's narrative is told primarily from the vantage point of the two terrified children. Two other outside players emerge, Jeremy Renner as a U. S. soldier with a conscience and Rose Byrne as a medic determined to fight the virus.

This film came out around the time the Iraq war was still in full swing and U. S. military occupation was ongoing. Comparisons between world events of the era and the film's plot are threadbare to non-existent. Suffice it to say, this sequel could have come out much later and that undercurrent would not have been apparent at all. While it doesn't feel quite as dark or as gripping as the original, it's still a pretty workmanlike sequel that delivers. Strongly recommended.
