I am somewhat disappointed. As an action movie it is quite nice, but that's all - somehow.
The story in the end is quite ordinary, and this time i did not recognize some background that you might think about on a philosophical level.
The music is done well. Partially modern, partially like extrapolated into the future.
Oh, the movie was produced by John Woo (director: Shinji Aramaki). Maybe that is the reason why it - in my opinion - turned to the wrong direction ?
Conclusion: Hollywood-like sequel: You can watch it, but it cannot keep up with its prequel.
