I didn’t like a first movie Kill ‘Em All, which threw in a trash bin a wonderful conception on Black Hand still active in present days and combat of Daniel Bernhardt and Jean-Claude Van Damme was beating of a first martial artist (Does Belgian still have grudge?). I didn’t rely on get higher than plain and believed in ridiculousness of sequel as many Arabs to Allah in about that. I have no sympathy to Van Damme now after accidental recognizing on his cheating to wife for years, his current mistress became co-executive producer of sequel (it’s likely, her name there is nominal.). And I gave chance to KILL’em ALL 2.
Everything was done without big efforts. JCVD doesn’t pump to full in performance and his made elaboration of character is more being himself by keeping his sunglasses on. Jacqueline Fernandez, a performer of main hero’s daughter, does not let to sense a personality in her aspirations and her acting committed downs to failure few times. I do not get chemistry of kinship between these two personages. Antonino Iuorio who playing a friend of Van Damme’s character isn’t authentic in feelings too. A contribution to all it does confusing dialogs which add unreliable to behavior of characters. Fights aren’t natural. In few of them were brilliant ideas but a common was that these confrontations weren’t reasonable in happening – they were occurring because “must”. It began with absurdity in lead guy takes pistol’s magazine and slides it through floor for picking up bullet. The situations are constant abnormal. A conception of storyline is already indicated to not watch flick. A simple gang organization hunts for CIA agent. They attack village and slay people for getting information on goal (and that sequence presents in hurry and this deprives of realism of their act.). Where is police? I willn’t accept that Slovenia is wild Eastern European country.
