Ultimately, the material is so familiar that it's hard to work up any enthusiasm for another trip [through] the seamy underside of glittering gaming life.

Although original Darkman Liam Neeson's presence is missed, Vosloos does a nice job as the conflicted Westlake, and the film actually manages to develop the Darkman character.

The Old Guard 2
(2025)

Between the half-baked ending, the underdeveloped plot, and the brief hints of interesting backstory, we're left with a movie that by any reasonable metric is kind of a flop — but where I still find myself perversely hoping for a sequel.

The Last of the Mohicans

These formulaic characters never stray too far from expectations, and indulge in dialogue that occasionally verges on self-parody. Mann, however, successfully overcomes the weak script by dint of sheer directorial bravura.
