Variety says: “Fun and frenetic sequel to the 2004 actioner heads back to the titular ghetto/war zone, where racially charged gangs are threatened by corrupt officials, trigger-happy cops, and nonstop chaos. With enough refs to the 2005 French riots to be considered, if not political, at least timely, the pic skilfully blends combat with social messaging, in an explosive blend that should satisfy fans in Gaul and beyond.” |
