Anyway, with a director called Olivier Megatron, what should you realistically expect?! |
It was just lazy filmmaking, you could tell they didn't really want to make the film which is why it clocks in at only 83 minutes. The first one had a grittiness to it with Neeson in unstoppable mode, he had a mission and he wasn't going to stop untill he finished. There are so many dumb moments in this film and the direction is less than stellar. Neeson has said that they wont be doing a third and thats a pretty good thing because if this is the level that they're going with then i think we're better off without a third.
