Who is this David Manning? Is he a recognized critic? Who does he work for?

The first movie was impressive, no doubt this one will be too.

I loved the first one. A Finnish “Rambo.”

The first one was fun and believable, until the airplane…

I may have got about half through it before I gave up.

If you like endless impossible action then it does deliver, but not my cup of tea.

The Critical Drinker just dropped a review and enjoyed it.

Cartoon with humans providing the image. Last of the humans doing movies. End of the charade. No one really cares.

I trust TCD. He’s never steered me wrong.

This one is better. Outrageous and wonderfully entertaining start to finish.

It's guns, airplanes and explosions.

It is not bad. The plot hangs together, the dialog is pretty much nonexistent, the music score is very good.

If you like Jason Statham movies or John Wick you will like it.

If you are a big fan of the USSR, you won't like it.

I particularly like when The Drinker is being savage. His Production Hell and Crash and Burn videos especially.

If you are a big fan of the USSR, you won't like it.

That lets out Bernie Sandes, Zohran Mamdani, and Nick Fuentes.

Many revenge movies use Nazi’s as the villains getting killed. I went to see this movie because I wanted to see Soviets get what was coming to them . It definitely delivered on that.
