Is it possible for a movie to be irresponsible? I'm not sure, but the opening 10 minutes...man.

Some solidly tense action for sure, but beyond that I basically hated this movie.

Somewhat of a let down bruhs, some really intense and dope action and visuals. There are some really well done scenes. The aerial shots and helicopter shots are fukkin beautiful. The cinematography was excellent and the score is dark af.

The story itself is so freaking thin though. A couple characters get good development but the plot itself is so underdeveloped it holds this movie back from being something really special.

Good flick, should've been better. C+

The plot was simple enough to understand I felt it was beautifully executed and a great bridge for next movie.

I'm about to go watch the movie now. I guess everyone is saying S1 > S2. Hopefully not that much better.

That strained credibility for me, but there were a lot of little nuances that made this quite terrifying and beautiful...It is the appeal and acknowledgement of basic humanity that connects us, but at the same time, wolves are gonna eat...

Great moments:
- Sign Language scenes
- FBI agent helping Isabella tie her hair up knowing she is about to meet a potential demise.
- The Mom and Daughter at the toy store...gahht damn...
- The Hidden torture cells for suspects

Everything you said is exactly how I felt. Feels like this film is a set up for the third to complete the trilogy.

First one is definitely better. It was one of the best movies of 2015 period. This movie is cool, but it won't get Oscar talk.

It was very tense when they brought Alejandro to the pit :damn::lupe:.

Reminded me Negan had Rick and crew surrounded. Don't know if Alejandro was scared for himself, or his surrogate daughter....
