(She does, however, make you question whether Luisito is really all that upset over the kidnapping of his girlfriend.) Baffling flashbacks to the first film are left unexplained and the return of a particular character will confuse viewers without a working knowledge of the previous chapter. The introduction of a female assassin (Hada Vanessa), who is not sure whether to kill Luisito or go to bed with him, does little to interrupt the rote feel of the movie. What’s worse, there isn’t a single memorable action beat in the entire film, and Pérez is so busy overseeing the entire production he forgets to give his character a trace of personality or wit. Pérez is out to make a serious movie instead of embracing the material’s shoot-’em-up roots. Instead, he serves up a straightforward genre exercise filled with gunfights, violence and mounting tedium. Pérez, who once again wrote the script and this time also serves as director, doesn’t have much to say this time about his country’s entrenched corruption - one of the worst in all of Latin America.
