Very well executed
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
1st Act: Emotion. This is the act were the toughest things happen. This is were Diane Kruger acts the freaking hell out of this movie. Not that she's bad after, but if you aren't convinced about her performance here, I don't know what to tell you.2nd: Plot precision. There is plot since the start, of course, but here, there is alot of attention to detail, the story goes one way and settles the table for the third act. Is more than anything a plot driven part, with little character moments here and there, but is perfectly done.3rd: Visual Symbolism. The ending closes the movie on a literal note too, but serves the purpose of elevate the whole thing to another level by some, although a bit obvious, beautiful symbolism where everything that the movie stands for is clear for you to process
I really enjoyed because make me think with the script but also with the images, the movie is capable to make you feel what is happening trough the images. Highly recommended. Main issues in this movie are: racism, justice, vendetta, lost.
5/1/18. Fortunately the movie was dubbed, otherwise it would be difficult to watch with subtitles. Kruger did a good job as a woman bent on revenge. However, her emotional issues were just too much to handle, which explains the ending.
Its dark theme & Diane's presence makes it a def one time watch.
