    Like the best crime stories, this one isn't about how the bad guys live, it's about how WE live.

    Somewhat disappointing. Very stylish, and I can see why it was so widely acclaimed. But in the end, very little soul.

    I have to admit, I haven't seen the first movie (Election) that this is a sequel to, and if I had, maybe my view would be different. But a good sequel should be able to stand on it own, and this doesn't. The first half of the movie is slow, very talky, and vague (I had trouble making sense of what was going on, and who everyone was, but again, maybe that would have been different if I had seen the first movie). There is a lot of brutal violence in the second half, to hold your attention, but this comes across more as just a collection of scenes with brutal violence, than it does coherent story telling.… Expand
