I watched this one back to back with "The Debt Collector", and it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that this flick was a whole lot like the original. Sue (Louis Mandylor) and French (Scott Adkins) accept another trio of 'vigs' from boss Tommy (Vladimir Kulich), and head off to Las Vegas expecting their share of low-lifes and bruisers before collecting the money that's owed. But this time, the money belongs to Molly X (Louie Ski Carr), the even more venomous brother of Barbosa, the thug who set up the boys in the first picture and got taken down for his trouble. Just like with Barbosa, I couldn't figure what made Molly such a badass, he handed off all the torture to his gal Felix (Charity Collins), who liked to punctuate her dialog with the word 'm..f' fairly liberally. The best action in the picture was the mid-film knock down, drag out between the reluctant partners who banged each other around like there was no tomorrow. With bruised egos, the boys went their separate ways, but there was no way French was going to leave Sulinsky 'Golden Bear' Baker in a lurch when he returned with the half mil to Tommy, and by way of association, Molly X. If you eye rolled your way through the shoot-out in the first movie, you'll have all you can do to contain your disbelief in this one, as multiple shooters miss multiple targets in a prolonged gun fight that just about closes out the story. I was looking for Felix to take a round but that never happened, although both Molly and Tommy won't be around for the inevitable sequel, the next one should it happen, occurring on the East Coast. No strong recommendation here since as I said, this is a reworked carbon copy of the first movie, but if you tune in, keep an eye on. Mal Reese's (Marina Sirtis) enforcer on the first collection job. That gal Britt (Mayling Ng) was one scary looking female..
