Blu-ray Review – Black Cat 2

1991's "Black Cat" was a Hong Kong production looking to replicate the plot and action intensity of Luc Besson's "La Femme Nikita." 1992's "Black Cat 2" gives up on that plan, instead aiming to be more of a "Terminator" riff as the eponymous character returns to duty, this time implanted with a different chip offering upgraded technology. Director Stephen Shin also comes back to helm the feature, once again more consumed with cooking up wild stunt sequences than dealing with the basics in storytelling. "Black Cat 2" is a step down in quality for the series, but it's not without some charms, including a little enjoyable brutality found during the run time, and the final minutes of the picture are positively bonkers. It's not always a complete endeavor, but it still packs a punch for what appears to be a quickie production. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
