This movie needs a sequel
because it's awesome and a classic, in my opinion. I'm a John Carpenter fan. To be honest, I hated it at first, but upon repeat viewing I fell in love with this film. Characters, action, dialogue, everything. Even the cheesiness. I embraced it all lol.
I want a sequel, because there were so many loose ends and they left us hanging.
I do have to agree tho that Statham as Desolation would've been awesome.
