"title":"It's just a great action film",
"reviewText":"I mean. This literally is what is says on the tin. It's jam packed with action and I love it.\n\nThe plot is easy to understand and the action shots are brilliant. So much bloodshed, guns, fighting, killing and more guns. Did I mention guns?\nIt's just a nice, easy and fun watch. I recommend watching the first if you haven't already, but yeah I'm impressed by the sequel.\n\nUsually with action sequels it can be a bit dull and repetitive, but this ramps up the action from the first film.\n\nBut yeah, 8/10 from me today. Enjoyed my time watching this, I'm going to jump into the third one now.",
