Compared to the original, which included multiple Star Wars references, the sequel goes back to its roots with numerous James Bond homages (metallic claw-arm, knife-jabbing shoe, etc). But that's all the sequel does: stays at its roots. We have the same comedic gruesome violence and slow-motion/camera-spinning action shots, simply substituting bad guy Samuel Jackson here with bad girl Julianne Moore. There was an interesting theme with a Trump-like President sanctioning American death and skilled professionals following him to a tee - but hey, you don't want to alienate half your viewers, do you? Avoid the controversy; keep the cash flowing.
