American Hollywood is best when doing action+FX
however, this is an inferior sequel to the thoroughly entertaining original that showed how America can kick terrorist arses back to hell. That said, a good effort but more hardboiled dialogue and thrilling suspense like Spartan, Shooter, 24 - masterpieces that each tackled the same themes - and showed how the US is superior in overcoming terrorist attacks. I'd give this a 4/10 for effort but nowhere near the quality I expect.
