The usual prison tropes
27 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
WE STILL STEAL THE OLD WAY is the rushed-out sequel to the STV gangster flick WE STILL KILL THE OLD WAY. That one wasn't bad, but this is the lesser movie, a patched-together prison flick that offers all the usual tropes pieced together in a not particularly interesting way. The gang is back and behind bars after a dull heist at the outset; there are some new "old" faces added to the mix, include a wraparound segment Julian Glover (the sole link to the last scene in the first film), Patrick Bergin and entertaining bad guy Billy Murray. The film has the usual mix of profanity and attempts at character depth, but everyone is going through the motions here and aside from seeing old timers like Ellison and Ogilvy in action again, there's little entertainment value.
