Reviews
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
