The first Eye for an Eye was a fun Chinese take on Zatoichi, the sequel offers more of the same, just that little bit slicker still. It's an upscale iQiyi production that offers the same core genre elements as their other films but does so with a bit more class and eye for detail. And that's not a bad thing at all.
The setup of the story is simple enough, this is all about the road trip and the cool action scenes, and in that sense the film absolutely delivers. If you've seen a couple of these types of martial arts films then there's not quite enough to make it a true standout, but fans of the genre are sure to have a good time with Eye for an Eye 2.
