Boy, oh boy this was a bad sequel, I mean it's not
entirely a complete was of time but it's close. But at
least Wesley returned to do the sequel and made it somewhat
enjoyable.
Wesley Snipes is back as now retired CIA/UN agent Neil Shaw. Now 8 years later, Neil attends the funeral of his dojo master and is pulled into a political conspiracy when a friend of his who is an actor is going into politics. From what I remember the main baddie is planning to assassinate a senator so his arms deal can go ahead. There are some pretty good action scenes in this because let's face it in a movie like this with an incoherent plot, you at least hope the action scenes are good, and they are, but the movie as a whole feels rushed.
Overall, Wesley made it watchable for me, but more passion should have went into this. There is also a third Art of War but sadly Wesley didn't return for it because of his tax evasion troubles, he's instead replaced by another actor who isn't really that good hell the not even that good. But it's a little hard to determine which sequel is better, but since I had recently seen both this second part is slightly better than the third. But the first Art of War will always be the best.
I give it a 1/10. Poor in quality and somewhat in acting because everyone sort of brings their C game. But at least I'm glade Wesley came back and made it somewhat watchable.
