One More Shot

Some more minor DEI casting. This one seems to go out of it's way to force more female casting in the movie. There is a homeland security female officer, 2 out of 3 of the CIA security detail is female. This takes place directly after the first one and the terrorist from that movie is back this time with his pregnant wife as well. The villains here are said to be professional independent military contractors and naturally they have their very own girlboss leader. The acting here might actually be worse than the last one. Knapp in particular is horribly miscast with really bad acting and her nails on chalkboard cartoonish voice makes it impossible to take her seriously. It's her voice and not her fault but it's bad casting nonetheless. The writing is maybe a bit better here with the action scenes looking much better for the most part but there are still some problems. The hand to hand combat in particular varies greatly with some scenes looking well done and convincing while others almost look like practice takes. The aforementioned 'professionals' can't seem to hit targets right in front of them half the time. This appears to take place in a large airport yet there doesn't seem to be any civilians to be found. The worst part is probably still the acting, the gunshot would in
the van early on is comically hilarious. Background characters get shot and flail their arms about overacting like something you would see from 10 year old's pretending to get shot. If you made through the first one it's an ok time killer and probably a step up from that one but still can't bring myself to give it a higher rating.
