Reviews
O:G2 - A worthy part 2!
Outlaw: Gangster VIP 2 takes place shortly after the first film ends, and is very closely tied to its story. I do feel as though it attempts to tie up loose ends from the first, however, the formula sort of ruins that a bit. And let me tell you, this thing is formulaic as it can be. Basically every story beat from the first film is repeated here, with only some slight differences. This includes the ending, which is pretty much exactly the same. It's not a bad thing, because the first one is amazing, but it does keep it from ever hoping to be better.A few things have improved. The direction is better overall, with music placement and action scenes being markedly improved. We see a few familiar actors from this genre pop up too, which is nice. There's a potential love triangle that doesn't overstay its welcome, further holding up mirrors to the previous instalment.
If you like the first one you're going to like this, but the formula is very persistent, and I've read that much of it carries over though all six movies.
