It doesn't matter if this movie is a prequel or sequel. This movie can
be enjoyed without having seen the original. Even more so because than
you won't be inclined to compare all the time. With this movie they
could have achieved so much more if they at least tried. Essentially
this prequel tries to be as clever as the first one. (Mind you not saying that the original was that clever in the first place but it some nice cinematic moments.) So back are the strange
characters, violent action and a twist. The twist can be predicted from
the start (If you play close attention to the scenes where the
assassins get hired). The characters however aren't that interesting.
While the characters from the original also lacked depth they were
compelling to watch. The action scenes are adequate with one scene that
surely will offend the little people. Overall this movie isn't half as
clever as it tries to be but still is pretty watchable if you don't
expect it to be like the original. As Bad B movies go you could do a lot worse.
