So much wasted potential. Mark Petrie has been race swapped from white in the books to black. The Dr Jimmy Cody a white male in the books has been race and gender swapped to a black female. There is no mention of race or gender throughout for either character however this is clearly a DEI decision therefore the higher woke rating. Both of these characters are also of course 'Hero' characters. The rest of the casting
is pretty good and the acting is decent. The Striker character is a bit of a miscast and in not at all like the book. There are 2 major problems
with this movie. The first being it's far too short. The book is very long and trying to fit this into a sub 2 hr movie is ridiculous. Everything is far too rushed with no time spent on any of the characters. While they included most of the large cast and scenes from the book no time is spent on any backstory
and none of the characters are fleshed out at all. For instance the Ralphie and Danny sequences takes place over 5 days in the book but here it's in the same night and within several minutes. Characters jump to conclusions and say things that make no sense because huge chunks of the book are left out that get the characters and the story to that point. Then for some reason they added extra scenes not in the book that serve no purpose. A few odd changes as well with the biggest being the ending. It is completely changed for the worse and unrecognizable from the book for no apparent reason. The second issue is while the
the cinematography is excellent and the movie is shot very creepy with some good tension the actual horror and action scenes are terrible. There is no scares and those scenes are just bland and sterile. It's almost like a different director shot the action/horror sequences.

First 10 minutes has a lesbian couple in a sex scene. One of the main group is gay and its the entire identity of the character in every scene. There is a token DEI black female character. There is a cross dressing villain. This is a blatant rip off of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The acting is terrible and there are no scares and little blood with poor FX.

Main character is a man-bun wearing gay couple. Bottom of the barrel film here. Acting, camera angles, dialog, sound, and story are all
amateur hour. This is NOT a horror movie, it's a bunch of film school rejects in a friends house with no money and an iPhone
trying to make a 'movie'. No scares, no blood, no horror.

It doesn't get much more woke than this. Lesbian main characters first scene is in bed with another woman. Her second scene she is hit on by a white male and states 'I like girls' Got to really hammer home that woke point. The second male character to show up is gay and hires
her because his boyfriend is cheating on him. The villain appears to be a white male preacher using his church to deal drugs. This is within
the first 15 minutes and at this point I'm already done but decide to skim ahead another 10 minutes just to see another lesbian character introduced only to finger bang the first lesbian in a public bar then transition to a full lesbian sex scene. What a bunch of woke trash. There appears to be no real story, the dialog is laughable and not in a funny way, the lead female acting is awful and every line is delivered like she's reading it off a cue card with no emotional range whatsoever. There is no reason for this garbage to exist. How in the hell is this dumpster fire directed by one of the Coen Brothers.

Wow what a huge letdown after the first one. I can't believe this is the same writer and director. Why would you take a dark, serious, thriller action movie and make a goofy comedy sequel? The characters aren't even the same. Braxton and Chris are portrayed completely different. The highly trained world class assassins are now corny, goofy jokesters. Affleck just looks old and tired. The writing and story are all over the place and jump drastically back and forth between crime thriller and corny comedy. So many pointless long drawn out scenes like the weird speed dating, the line dancing, Braxton arguing with himself about getting a dog. You could of cut at least 45 minutes of pointless nonsense out. What was with the ridiculous seemingly super powered child hackers? I didn't find the female assassin so much as a woke element of just stupid lazy writing. The only thing really woke would be the good illegal immigrants being taken advantage of by white people b.s.

Nothing woke. The female lead is black but she's not the usual aggressive nasty perfect Mary Sue type typical now so I don't really see it as woke. The acting is good, the story and writing are well done. The action scenes are excellent. Just a good entertaining movie.

Nothing woke. I really wanted to like this movie much more than I actually did. The positives are some pretty good acting, great sound
work and the fx looked great. Unfortunately it's obvious they had very little budget. The movie is just plain boring and there's not enough
content to warrant a full length movie. Too many scenes seem to drag on for far too long. The huge overuse of the slow motion closeup with
muted sound to show disorientation. It can be a good effect but just annoying when used over and over every 5-10 minutes. It feels like a short film padded out to feature length. There is also
the problem that most of the action scenes consist of shots of the soldiers firing their weapons but almost never what they are shooting at.
You hear a lot of background gunshots but rarely are there any bullet impacts, just the occasional round hitting a wall. Because of that you
never feel like there's any real danger or they are in an actual combat situation taking enemy fire. It's not really a terrible movie and it
could of been very good with a bigger budget to do the script justice.

Nothing woke. Having been a very long time since I've seen this it is still very funny and holds up very well. Packed full of SNL actors before
they were famous as well as many other recognizable faces. It's silly, stupid and hilarious. The jokes are still funny though if you've never
watched SNL during the 80's early 90's it may not land the same way. You would never get away with these kinds of politically incorrect jokes
in modern movies.

Some DEI overrepresentation. All the villains are white. Most of the now typical feminism in movies now including girlbosses. Not surprisingly several of the females are terrible actors. White supremacists with Nazi tattoos try to kill Amondo. Some racist scenes and comments that would never happen if the roles were reversed. The story is cliche and unoriginal. The jokes are stale and not funny. Even though both actors are pushing 60 they act like they are still 30 except when the script needs them to suddenly act older. Marcus is incredibly annoying this time around. The action sequences are dull and just get more and more ridiculous and unrealistic as the movie goes on. The writing is typical of modern Hollywood stupidity. It's watchable if all your looking
for is braindead noise and you can get past the nonsense writing.

Main couple is a beta male who is a loser video game designer to the aggressive unlikable alpha female smart architect who talks down to him
and belittles him. I hated her within 15 min. Their neighbors are a white male and black female mixed race couple. The old white mane downstairs has a black granddaughter. In Germany mind you with an estimated 1.2 percent black population. The acting is passable at best but the writing is abysmal to anyone capable of logical thought. The couple attempts to drill through the barricade with a drill that is turning so slow you might as well be spinning it by hand yet manages to overheat and turn red hot. This same pathetic drill and a tiny hammer have no problem knocking a large hole big enough to crawl through in a solid brick firewall between apartments. The same apartments where a few minutes later after conveniently finding a sledgehammer in their neighbors apartment closet blow a hole through the floor like tissue paper that is clearly 1/2 inch thick plywood and that's it. 40 minutes was I could take of this no effort garbage, I no longer cared what the mystery with the barricade was.
