Plot: Andy leads immortal warriors against a powerful enemy threatening their group. They grapple with the resurfacing of a long-lost immortal, complicating their mission to safeguard humanity.
This sequel was Underwhelming.
Pros: It does still deliver on the action scenes and its bloody violence’s. Charlize Theron is still a badass. I like a lot of moments between Andy and Quỳnh together.
Cons: The team do get side line through most of the film. Uma Thurman was underutilised quite a lot. This sequel has pacing issues. I didn’t like how the story went this time around & also don’t like the ending didn’t feel like a real ending.
