La marca 2: Redención

I'm not familiar with the first one, but it didn't seem necessary. The events are linear, and little by little we learn the context of everything.

It's an attempt at a story about the antichrist that wasn't very well done and perhaps tried to attract attention with the futuristic invention... but meh

Like many other votes, I didn't like it. It's one of those movies that I wish would go by without any fuss or fanfare, but it didn't even get that far.

A boring plot, easy to follow, but it lacks that twist or exciting moments that make us focus on what's happening.

Within the first 10 minutes, I knew I wouldn't watch it of my own volition, and we only made it to the end because my mom was focused on the story.

This movie begins where its predecessor "The Mark" left off with "Chad Turner" (Craig Sheffer) and the stewardess "Dao" (Sonia Couling) having escaped by parachute from the airplane they were on and landing near the outskirts of Bangkok. The rapture (i.e. the disappearance of true Christians from the Earth) had just taken place and all sorts of chaos and destruction has followed in its wake. This gives one certain person (known in Biblical terms as the anti-Christ) by the name of "Phillyp Turk" (Ivan Kamaras) the opportunity he needs to establish his power over the world. To help him accomplish this task he needs "the mark" that has been implanted into Chad's arm while he was unconscious. The firm that made the implant ("Avanti") also wants to recover their merchandise but unfortunately for them their CEO "Dan Cooper" (Eric Roberts) has been captured by the anti-Christ's henchmen and is in the process of being tortured for any information involving Chad or the microchip. In any case, Chad is a wanted man who realizes that the anti-Christ will stop at nothing to get him. Now, as far as this movie is concerned I thought it was an okay sequel by and large. Although there were a few rather slow scenes here and there I liked the performance of Sonia Couling and the use of Bangkok for the location of this movie. In short, it's not a great film by any means but it's a decent sequel all the same.
