Action packed from start to finish. Denzel Washington is amazing and the plot keeps you guessing for most of the movie. Denzel is like a modern day Robin Hood protecting the poor and downtrodden. Loved this movie.
This was better than the first one. Instead of just a home invasion, the action takes place on the streets with three main characters who are all very different in personality and objectives. There is a mom and daughter who had to flee their home, a couple whose car broke down, and a vigilante who is on a mission to avenge his son's death. The vigilante is the only one remotely prepared to fight. Even though the theme is still terrifying (in a really disgraceful way), the action is more interesting in this sequel and will make you feel that 'good' uneasy that you get from a horror film.
I did not expect this movie to be as entertaining and funny as it was. Emmet is a leading man for all ages -- an ordinary guy thrust into extraordinary circumstances -- which leads to a fast learning curve and hilarity along the way. It was amazing that everything in the movie was built from legos! Great fun for children and adults.
