This movie expands so well on the first and surpasses it in so many ways. The movie ditches the sleek and colorful look and goes for a way more grity and dirty, almost westernish, style setting. The action no longer seems at the forefront but there is more of balance between (again some of the greatest dialogue ever written) and some of the most emotional fighting sequences put together. Every performance is spot on, the best being David Carradine and “Bill.” How this performance wasn’t nominated is beyond me. The main part of this movie that works so well is how these characters are contained in their own world. We forget about the real world, and the problems they were to face if the events in the movie actually went down, and instead become immersed in the story that is going on. One of the best to say the least.
