DID YOU KNOW?
Director Paul Greengrass introduced a handheld shaky-cam style that revolutionized action filmmaking and was widely imitated.
THE VERDICT
Synthesized from published reviews
A sequel that escalates the series' intensity without losing its moral seriousness. The handheld approach is sometimes criticized for visual legibility, but it is more purposeful than it appears -- the disorientation is the point. The Moscow car chase is the franchise's most viscerally immediate action sequence. The film's willingness to follow through on the consequences of the first film's events gives it a weight that distinguishes it from most sequel action filmmaking.
