Viewing Notes

Wasn’t planning on seeing this sequel in theater but the showtime worked out and the ratings were positive. Turns out that this is a better movie and I’m glad I could see it on the big screen.

The humor from the first movie is dropped in favor of real drama and a true sports thriller. Having seen a few Shen Teng films in the last couple years he reminds me of Song Kang-ho, especially his early run. Same kinda of vibe as a leading man that isn’t chiseled and perfect.

The only weird thing is that there’s no mention of Shen Teng’s character being a father or his son from the previous film (even tho he has a redemption arc from that film).
