Great story line. Will watch the third movie as well. See more Jan 24 The first one is far better. This one is not worth seeing, honestly. See more Jelisije J 08/23/2024 Lets copy and paste the first film and get a new lead. See more 11/25/2020 Hahaha. Transplanted the lead actor, added a yoyo, re-used the story from the first movie, and inserted a mediocre adversary... See more Read all reviews
