Yep totty agree, I think they toned it down to get a 12 cert, not a patch on the first film.

It was good , but kinda the same film only a different scenario. It seemed a bit cheesier or something ! I mean his wife and kid are just normal , but the instructions he gave them were hilarious

I agree.
Generally sequels are poorer than the original

It was cack. Should never have made it.
The scene where they're being chased in the taxi is excruciating.. "Drive faster Kim".. "I can't daddy" repeat for 5 minutes with quick cuts.

I know its just a film so it can be as far fetched as they like, but the whole dropping grenades and telling how far apart they are from each other was so **** lol

5/10 for me.

Nowhere near as good as the first but wasn't expecting it to be.

He seemed a little bored with the whole thing I thought. The fight scenes lacked the brutality of the first (perhaps because of losing its 18 rating ?) and he seemed to kill a lot more people with a gun than in the first which seemed a lazy way out of bumping off the baddies, when we all want to see him killing them hand to hand.

Worth a watch but if the standard is slipping like this from film to film please don't make a 3rd !
