My title references the fact I paid $2 a ticket for this movie as it was "cinema week" at my local chain. My wife and I enjoyed the first one and figured this would be more of the same. Ryan Reynolds has the same schtick now in all his action films so that's expected. Samuel L Jackson has had the same for decades. Hard not to enjoy it as he seems to be. Salma Hayek is the reason you go and watch. Obviously. Antonio Banderas is miscast as the villain. Forget the plot is what I do in most of these types of films so I don't mark this film down for this insane one.
With so many bullets flying and so much abuse these "heroes" take its just too hard to watch them bounce right back up and go on like nothing happened. It's not necessary for Reynolds to be hit by cars and shotguns etc.
I was hoping for something new. Something unexpected. I didn't get it. As I said, it's worth $2 for sure. If I paid $12.50 then I may have left the theater in tears.
