![]() ![]() Characters are dropped in for little reason, scenes occur that are wedged into the plot simply because someone had the idea in isolation and got it added to the film etc. The plot is so disjointed that it really does feel very episodic and I struggled sometimes to see the narrative flow mainly because for large sections of the film there wasn't one. Scenes that were enjoyable in the first film were just not quite as funny the second time round. It's like they knew that they wanted to repeat the essence of some scenes from the first film and, if they couldn't fit them into the plot, then they just dropped them in anyway. However here the majority of the scenes seem to exist outside the plot. Happily CA2 didn't just make the same mistakes as the first film did it actually went beyond them! One problem with the first film was that the plot had too many scenes that just seemed to happen without reason or consequence (the race cars scene for one). I had enjoyed the first film (for all it's flaws) but I didn't really want to see a film that just went over the same ground. It was with a heavy (but open) heart that I went to see this film. The Angels are charged to bring back the rings but along the way they encounter secrets from the past including a violent old flame from Dylan's youth seeking revenge and an ex-Angel striking out on her own. The other ring has also been taken from it's holder and the holder murdered. Later they find out that the ring is one of a coded pair that, once combined, unlocks the data for the location of the entire witness protection programme. The Angels rescue Marshal Ray Carter from Mongolia but leave without what they presume to be his wedding ring. ![]()
