I rarely write reviews. Only something out of the ordinary can overcome my laziness and force me to go beyond a quick assessment. So far, such an example has been the stunning Route 60. Now - another attempt to make a film based on your favorite fighting game of childhood, so many memories. . . It is quite natural to compare the novelty with the first film of 95. Cinema games initially quite a specific topic in which you rarely expect some acting, look through your fingers at the plot and so on. Including the deadly battle, I expected a series of action scenes linked to a rather primitive script, as in the first part, but I wanted to see some evolution in two and a half decades. In the end, technology in terms of visual component made a huge leap, and the game series itself is decently overgrown with mythology and plot. The novelty had to look not through your fingers, but through a permanent facepalm. I don’t know how, but the creators managed to make absolutely all aspects of the picture worse than in the fairly average predecessor. The acting, the script, the dialogue, the sound are all one failure.
