True to the Game 2

One of my biggest issues with this series of films is the main character (Gena) is treated almost as a side character to the crime narrative. Her character isn't experiencing growth through a strong dramatic arc and continues to be involved in situations where things are happening to her rather than her making something happen herself. For what it was, it works decent enough as a crime thriller but isn't worth writing home about. The resolution felt rushed and had a number of implausible occurrences in it. Acting is again decent but nothing special. It's cool that there were fans of the first movie but there was an excess of unneeded celeb cameo appearances for me. Also, as with the predecessor, the film looks good from the technical standpoint. Well shot, edited, characters well styled, music blends quite well and is rarely overdramatic. Film sequels should open us up to new dimensions of the characters and their narrative inhabited universe and expand on the original. This doesn't do so at all. It just comes off as a cash grab for fans of the genre. If it's the type of films you're into, you could do worse than this one but also better. Much, much better.

The first true to the game was authentic and entertaining. This one is overly cast with celebrities and not entertaining at all, almost like it was thrown together in a few days and the storyline is all over the place.

If I could give this movie negative stars then I would. However, I will settle with zero stars! This was a deep disappointment from what I experienced from the first movie. The acting did not get good until the very end.

Please take your time on the next movie. This is time spent I cannot reclaim!

The story could have been stronger, the acting was ok, but i couldn't care less when someone got killed off, the characters weren't likeable enough, the stupid Rap music { if you call it music} spoils the movie, you cringe every time it blasts out, the male actors look and dress like pimps, and the females all with ugly large arses try to look sexy, lol, the movie is ok for a rainy weekend, but not much else.

They put every celebrity in this movie and it still was terrible. From the acting to the inconsistencies and the story being all over the place. I had such high hopes for this movie.
