SPL 2: A Time for Consequences actually might better deserve its American title of Kill Zone than the first SPL, with its plot about organ trafficking, but it is not a straight sequel to that first film. The Chinese are big on spiritual sequels, using a few of the same actors in different roles (Simon Yam, Wu Jing) and using the title as a brand. So like the first SPL, this is a slick crime thriller with martial arts, in a world where fate plays a hand, crafting both doom and miracles. This tangled web includes Tony Jaa, in his most dramatically demanding role to date, as the father of a touching little girl with leukemia; a junkie cop (Wu Jing) trying to kick the habit and his uncle (Yam); and a sick crime lord (an unrecognizable Louis Koo) who needs his brother's heart to survive. And it does everything it sets out to achieve, whether it's hard-hitting action, sentimental drama, or the blending of the two, which is not always easy to do, or everybody would be doing it. The first SPL is still the more iconic film - this one has perhaps too much going on at times - but the Thai locations certainly give it some added flair.

aka SPL2: A Time for Consequences
Amazing fight scenes in a sentimental and ridiculous storyline.
