This is one of those rare cases where the sequel is better than the original. The first film didn't develop a storyline until the middle of the film. It was just pretty much high name action stars performing huge action sequences with no plot. But this second film starts out with an interesting story and also doesn't disappoint on the action. All of these big name actors yet Jason Stathams character stands out as witty and wisecracking. He & Stallone work well together.
