The second one seems to be just cashing in on the success of the first but sacrificing a lot of the things that made the first so good to watch. I think you nailed the main problem with it - to maintain the terrific action they have stretched credulity beyond breaking point. It pisses me off as Neeson is great and the premise of the story is a good one that they could have developed without doing the over-the-top American/Hollywood action thing that made it so bullshitty. Goin' for the money again - and with Cert 12 - the spotty little 'erbert brigade. Don't waste your hard-earned seeing it - wait for the DVD.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581073256021644369.post-34374701113592653452012-10-19T17:48:24.263+01:002012-10-19T17:48:24.263+01:00I've never actually understood the sudden succ...I've never actually understood the sudden success of the film.
