a5c7b9f00b Walter Weed is an unassuming desk jockey at the FBI when the Bureau uncovers a plot to assassinate him. A team of degenerate, psychotic assassins dispatched by mystery man Hal Leuco to win a huge bounty includes a resourceful beauty who has a unique method of killing her prey, a power-tool wielding psychopath and a deadly master of disguise. Wow what a dog of a movie - I guess they bought the rights to the title but thisfar from a sequelit&#39;s possible to get.<br/><br/>The only good thing here are the actor who runs the jazz club and Vinnie Jones who really deserves better (Sorry but having breasts and a push-up bra doesn&#39;t not make either of the two female leads any better or anymore watchable).<br/><br/>I like cheesy assassin films - the Tournament, Wanted, Shoot&#39;Em Up, because they are ironic and self-mocking: this, this has none of that - honestly whatever camel&#39;s behind it came shooting out of it should return again ashamed.<br/><br/>This really is a by the numbers no imagination just recycle what you think will sell marketing ploy. Both the director and the writers should have prices put on their heads for selling this granola to the public…… This movie is not bad at all. For starters, I was well aware it was a straight to video movie. IMDb makes that clear with the (video) annunciation in the listing. So I didn&#39;t expect the production value to be anywhere close to the original. Also, it is not a *sequel*. Early on you realize this is in fact, a prequel.<br/><br/>I was a huge fan of the first one; very good action movie. I expected a lower budget form of it in this. That is essentially what you get. The styling of the movie is different. That doesn&#39;t mean it is bad.<br/><br/>If you are someone who actually pays attention to detail, you will probably enjoy a few things in this movie. There is more connections made in this movie than just the title name and the appearance of Lazlo Soot (apparently the majority of reviews think those are the only connections).<br/><br/>There is mention of both Buddy Israel and Primo Sparazza, just for names-sake. Yes, Lazlo is in fact, in it. You learn a little bit about Lestor Tremor&#39;s (one of the three Tremor Brothers from the first) past. You also find out some interesting details about Beanie (from Israel&#39;s entourage.<br/><br/>Really, they are all small details that neither make nor break the movie. Those are more there to make you smilea fan of the first one.<br/><br/>The movie is a solid 6 for a relatively mindless action w/ a few decent twists and laughable parts. Especially given it being a straight to video movie. With that in mind, it is actually really good for what it is.
