Director Marc Clebanoff has taken the sequel reins this time with As Good As Dead 2, returning actor and martial arts star Michael Jai White back to the fray. The cast also lists Tom Berenger and Guillermo Iván from the first film, and actor Ronnie Gene Blevins from a script also by White.
After his Mexico assassins fail to eliminate DEA Agent Bryant Powell (Michael Jai White), Sonny Kilbane (Tom Berenger) is put on the hit list by his deep state former partners. Bryant must now break his former enemy out of prison and get him to safety, so he can testify, with assassins hot on their tails both north and south of the border.
At some point I’m going to do my own review of the first film from director R. Ellis Frazier. Having never done so didn’t sit right with me so I have to clear my plate this week and maybe get to that.
Best of all is the people behind the action on this venture with Angela Jordan, Stephanie Pham and Joey Min shepherding the fight scenes as they did on White’s Trouble Man. If you don’t know who Jordan, Pham and Min are, I advise you to tap here and keep up, because they aren’t done yet. Not even a little.
As Good As Dead 2 releases in theaters, on Digital and on Demand beginning December 11. Watch the trailer:
