Could've sworn we had a thread about this, but out in theatres now. Same writer-director. Same two Irish dudes plus Billy Connolly, minus Willem Dafoe.

Never saw the first one.

What happened to the one dudes face... it looks totally fucked up.

Classic violence w\ some entertaining comedic relief. & Willem Dafoe is creepy as a self-hating homosexual FBI agent.

I liked the first one a lot for many reasons, but I can't see it being anywhere near as good without Dafoe. He really brought it all together perfectly.

My thought initially as well. But I'll've to give it at least a shot.

Finally saw this yesterday. It's ... alright. Lots of the same cast members, even Greenly & fuck-ass. Then there's Judd Nelson as an Italian don, which he thoroughly enjoys. Every line he delivers is over the top & extremely loud. What made the last film was seeing things from the perspective of both the outlaws (Sean Patrick Flannery & Norman Reedus) & the law (Willem Dafoe). The slow-mo stylistic gunfights, sometimes seen in reverse chronological order w\ narration by the law, were used overmuch here.

All this being said, there's plenty of violence, swearing, & drinking. & Rocco (the Italian dude from the first film) has a kick-ass monologue towards the end of the movie.

If you saw the first one & liked it, you'll want to check this one. Spoilers thread to be started soon.

Saw the first movie on BD for $10 at Walmart, last night.

Almost grabbed it, but then I didn't.
