Highly enjoyable action movie. Great fights, stunts and a good storywhich lead to a satisfying ending. Even after all this, I still preferthe first movie, because it introduced us to Parkour. Few years later,Parkour is popular the world over and it's because of films like thisand Casino Royale. The first movie had arguably the best actionsequences I'd seen for a long time, so it's no surprise for a sequel topop up, which cranks up the action 10 fold. Good performances,especially from the two leads, who have the right chemistry for thisaction comedy. Both Belle and Raffaelli are chief pratitioners in theart of Parkour, but also show that they're pretty adept at acting too.I hope they make a third movie because it would be great to see theseguys on screen together again. One of the better movies of the yearunsurprisingly and I say that because I knew what to expect whilstwatching this film and I wasn't disappointed. All in all a fun actionmovie, that many will enjoy, I know I did.
