Reviews

David Nusair wrote on Reel Film Reviews that the film was only a sequel in name. He manages to get the "complexity and subtle nuances" of the predecessor recognized. The film is basically a "complete disaster" in every respect with a "listless plot" , poor representations and wrong direction. Convincing characters would be missing; the dialogues would appear stilted and banal. The main actress is not able to carry the film.

The magazine TV 14 23/2008 wrote that the film offers “convincing action” and “good sound effects” .

backgrounds
