The first one was a good above average sports drama with a poignant ending. It didn't do nothing new but was well executed overall.
This sequel deviate from the sports drama formula to be an action movie and it weirdly succeed at that. It a lot more fast paced and contains even more action than the first film. The switch to action might turn some fans of the first off but for action junkies like me this didnt bother me.
There's a lot more fighting scenes in this one and they're very well choreographed. The final 20 min is very entertaining. They even manage to throw in a couple of small shootouts. It also a lot more violent than the first with a couple of brutal death scenes.
The story is still the weakest part with some big plot holes and less characters moment than the first. The chemistry between Alex(Eric Roberts) and Tommy (Phillip Rhee) still shine and really help to carry the film despite it flawed minimal plot.
Overall it a surprisingly good sequel that is more fast paced and action oriented than the first.
