Project Nightshade: basically; unfortunately Francis "Frank" Moses [Bruce Willis:] and now girlfriend Sarah Ross [Mary-Louise Parker:] are trying to live a quiet life, in fact Ross is now finding this a bit mundane. But don't worry as they quickly find out from Marvin Boggs [John Malkovich:] that things are going to get rather hairy really quickly but Moses doesn't listen and consequently within a little time Boggs will pay the price for that, but now to introduce one of our newcomers into this franchise; Jack Horton [Neal McDonough:] he is a US Intelligence Agent that has been assigned to take care of this situation with any means necessary to achieve it.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 116 minutes film is good; it just moves along as it has a story to tell so it just gets on with it. Now if you remember [if you have watched these films in chronological order as in the first one first;] you would know that now and again we would get these postcards of basically where we are heading to. But in this sequel now and again we get this brief of this scene and then we move on or/and sometimes we have words on-screen in red; trust me when I say this art is very easy to pick up on based on the colour system is black and red. On top that at the end of the film and just before the closing credits we have this art in the same style of art but it has more of a colour system to them; so all of this art is highly imaginative and it will grab your attention.

Action/Comedy; obviously we have a lot of combat, shooting and all that including this chasing sequence; where we will take it from this perspective; we have Ross and Boggs taking part in this chasing sequence in his vehicle; where from time to time Boggs is trying to tell Ross about this that or the other, but she doesn't want to hear, eventually she gets this vehicle wedged in between the narrowing road; so all the she can do is watch Moses and Major General Katja Petrokovich [Catherine Zeta-Jones:] she is an ex-girlfriend Moses and Ross doesn't like her in fact she says as much in this scene as she has to watch them finish up taking care of business; as Boggs and are trapped in his vehicle as I have already indicated by the narrowing of this road.

Character developments and performances; they are all good and likewise the same can be said for the performances as well, there is a really good chemistry between this cast.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; it is good to see this recurring cast and some new faces, so this is one of those films that would go well with a takeaway. This film has 3 Nominees accredited to its name for an example; People's Choice Awards, USA 2024 People's Choice Award Favorite Thriller Movie.
