There's an inherent contradiction in writing a review of a movie like this. The thing is almost all action; words are largely superfluous. Which is not to say it isn't enjoyable. The flick is exactly what you expect it to be, and there's a certain virtue in its simplicity and lack of pretense. If you've got the bloodlust, you'll dig it, few questions asked. The only real uncertainty here is how long these well-cast actors will be willing to reprise these particular roles (with at least one more sequel obviously set up on the horizon). Speaking of casting, a side note for the producers: sign those dogs up for a long term deal; they're real scene stealers. Taken as a whole--a bullet hole, no doubt--it works. As long as this crew can avoid the Baba Yaga of bad box office, one supposes this run will go on. I for one am good with that.
