Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

KILLZONE 2 - original title SHA PO LANG 2 - is a belated sequel to the Donnie Yen-starrer of the early 2000s, not that it has anything to do with that movie. As a film, it's a mixed bag, with a little too much influence from mainland China to be truly successful. The film is mired down with bad direction (from the guy who did NEW BLOOD, a similarly poorly-directed B-movie) and a rather convoluted storyline that mixes in a corrupt prison warden with a plot involving illegal organ harvesting and the like. Truth be told, none of this is very interesting, so it's a good job that a top cast helps to make the tired material work. Wu Jing is typically dynamic as the hero of the hour, but my money's on Tony Jaa as the main man here, and it's great to see him delivering hard-knuckle action once more. Further along in the cast list, veteran stars Simon Yam and Ken Lo elevate the work by their presence, Louis Koo gets an odd little incognito role, and Zhang Jin's big bad is spoilt by an excess of wirework. Still, the action scenes are generally dynamic and exciting, although there's not enough of them. Jaa battles Jing in a couple of fun fights, there's a big bus set-piece, some prison brawling, and then an extended bout at the climax. None of it is fantastic, but it passes the time well enough and lifts the spirits a little. A shame about that unresolved literal cliffhanger ending, though.

Kill Zone 2 is as generic as they come w/the typical 'heart on your sleeve' over sentimentality & hyper-realized fight sequences, this film goes nowhere fast. With the plot point of having dual sets of individuals needing transplants, the sheer mechanics of the story work overtime checking all the boxes that you wonder when the kitchen sink will make an appearance. Tony Jaa & Wu Jing do give their all w/the last fight which is ripe for the record books.

SPL 2: A Time For Consequences finally got its UK release (Oct '16) as Killzone 2. Although starring Wu Jing and Simon Yam from the original SPL movie, the films are only connected in title only and with the method of how the 3 connections bring the story together.Once you get that out of the way, you can look at SPL 2 as a stand- alone movie and tune in for a non-linear story that has some amazing martial arts and action scenes (courtesy of long time Jackie Chan stunt team member, Nicky Li) and stars 3 of the hottest martial arts stars of this time, Tony Jaa, Wu Jing and Zhang Jin!The movie also had me moved to tears more than once, but I'll not reveal any spoilers on that...Like a blend of HK classic 'Island Of Fire' and 'The Raid 2' (which I wasn't a fan of), SPL 2 is heavily set in a Thai prison with corruption, violence and fights aplenty. With the number of flashbacks and changes in location blending in throughout the first half of the film, I would suggest keeping a keen eye on things as the story unravels. Similar to that of Andy Lau's 'The Last Blood' this takes a much darker turn on things and all the cast members play it amazingly.I really enjoyed seeing Tony Jaa mix in with a HK production. I'm a huge fan of his, but the last lot of years have seen him struggle to shine his light again. With SPL 2, he most certainly does make a return! Highly recommended and one I will be watching again very soon...

A must watch because SPL2 is very good example of a powerful visual presentation. Though story seems to be predictable, it is beautifully layered & keeps you hooked until the end. Movie is nicely written with good cinematography and amazing action sequences. In addition to excellent fight sequences, SPL2 has heart (literally as well as symbolically) which is quite rare these days. I had to go through the film twice just to watch the jail brake... couldn't believe that a fair chunk of jailbreak scene were single takes. Don't want to add more as other reviewers have already summed it up. In short, this movie is simple yet gripping & certainly one of the best action movies of 2015. Highly recommended.
