The plot: Reformed criminals Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark and Ms. Tarantula are trying very hard to be good. However, they soon find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes heist that’s masterminded by a new team of delinquents they never saw coming — the Bad Girls.
This sequel was good.
Pros: The gang is back and there better than ever. I’m surprise how they wend marmalade back into the main story somehow. The Bad Girls was a fun anti-opposite to the bad girls. It’s action packed & fast moving and I’m surprised they gone into space to put off the biggest heist ever.
Cons: A lot of the cops haven’t had that much to do this sequel. The plot do feel sort of the same like the first one & the final moments at the end does came off like set up for the next one.
