Prequels are rarely as good as the story they precede. Case in point: the first
IA film is a class act, but its prequel (
Part II) definitely isn't. The first time I attempted to watch it I turned it off before the halfway mark. The second time, I fell asleep about 50 minutes in. Having since endured everything it has to offer, I feel that it's severely lacking in thrills or charm. There's a notable action scene around that halfway mark, but the rest if it is woefully dull.
The original story's two moles are now played by younger actors, which is an Achilles heel in itself. but the script, covering each man's rise from rookie to their previously/eventual established positions, is largely forgettable.
