Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Chiller7 This is more proof that the Asian masters of martial arts cinema are on another level. Because, holy s#%!, these fights scenes are spectacular.Everything from the choreography, to the martial artist actors, to the stunt performers, to the camera-work excel. You'll see none of that standard Hollywood style excessive shaky-cam and rapid editing here.Even as a lifelong martial arts movie fan, there are sequences in this movie where I was genuinely blown away by the quality of the action, in particular the big prison riot fight, featuring very impressive looking long unbroken shots, and, of course, the ultimate showdown fight with the villain. I love the martial arts movie trope of the overpowered main bad guy who dominates the fight, despite everything the heroes throw at him. You'll find yourself asking, how can they possibly take this guy down? I love it, this kind of stuff never gets old.Good to see these martial arts movie heroes I've been a longtime fan of, Tony Jaa & Wu Jing, still as awesome as ever, despite getting older.

skyrimmole I'll keep it short because you shouldn't be reading this you should be watching SPL 2! Like the first it has a genuinely good plot; though this time the story is much more heartfelt and intricately woven. It manages to seamlessly blend the narrative in and around action sequences that will have you battered and bruised from merely watching them! The characters are well written and superbly realised by all actors involved. It was great to see some returning characters from the first film, though it's the new characters that really breath life into this incredible sequel. Tony Jaa really shows his range as an actor in this, becoming more than just an incredible fighter. Jing Wu, Louis Koo and Zhang Jin's performances are brilliant especially Jing Wu; the co-protagonist alongside Jaa. In short; this film can stand confidently beside Ip Man, The Man From Nowhere and The Raid films (the latter being a clear inspiration for some of the scenes in SLP 2) as a modern martial arts classic! Go watch it!

Amer Homsi The movie has more plot twists than a twister. I can't believe what I saw. And everyone looks the same *no racist*. In the middle of the movie when all the main actors met in one room I thought it is going to end, but unfortunately it didn't and I wasted more time to see the end *no spoiler intended* Not mentioning the classic music in the back ground which simply doesn't fit with the scene!!! I'm writing this text to fill more lines so my review can be submitted. From here and on stop reading there nothing important to read. Just wordings. Sorry if there is any typo but I'm not a native speaker. My conclusion watch another movie

ebossert Note: Check me out as the "Asian Movie Enthusiast" on YouTube, where I review tons of Asian movies.SPL 2: A Time for Consequences (2015) (Chinese Action/Drama).Tony Jaa has been on a streak of underwhelming movies lately. I have yet to see his collaborations with Dolph Lundgren, but I can say that "Ong Bak 3" and "Tom Yum Goong 2" were not up to his previously established levels of quality martial arts action. Thankfully, he's back in form here. Wu Jing's manager wasted his talents on middling films for the past half decade, but he's back on track as well. SPL 2 is here.I'm sorry, but you can have your Batman v. Superman movie, because Tony Jaa v. Wu Jing is every contemporary martial arts lover's dream come true . . . and it friggin' delivers! A drug-addict (Jing) and prison security guard (Jaa) try to save themselves and/or loved ones while trapped within a black market organ theft organization. This film spends quite a bit of time developing the story and characters, and is mostly successful at doing so despite a few improbable coincidences. The performances are good all-around, and both leads give what is likely the best performances of their careers. But what about the action? Well, it's very impressive and plentiful enough to satisfy. The choreography is fast and precise, with only marginal use of wires. Watching Jing and Jaa fight within the same camera frame is both orgasmic and exciting.
