No it wasn't as good as the first but I didn't find the original that great either. Nor where in the hell am I going to come up with 545 or so more characters that need to be written in order for my short and sweet review can be accepted.... Gladiator was a bit slow ... Heat or Collateral were better. But, now Gladiator 2 did well on it's own. Yeah the flashbacks were annoying and unnecessary. If you are watching this sequel, then you probably watched the first when it debuted or did so before viewing this. Its the internet age. The pool in the Colosseum and CGI monkey scenes were a bit too much.
I'm not familiar with the local Chicago social scene or the works of C. H. U. D. (Chicago Hardcore Underground Directors). So, I can't tell if this was parody or black comedy by experienced professionals, a film school graduate project, an indie film festival entry, or a fundraising film short.
And, the plot is simple ... too simple.
It is something to do about a stolen pillowcase belonging to Mike Vanderbilt, Chicago's Best Bartender voted by The Chicago Reader, who happens to be wearing a gorilla costume. And some characters are bizarre and action scenes are cartoonish.
There has to be an inside joke or behind the scenes story explaining the plot.
Good acting. And the gorgeous Heather Jokiel is in this. Mercy!

Given the background and character of the main character, this is a noir, in my opinion. Very well done.
And to get around the minimum character requirement, I shall quote: arotscheidt on 18 March 2014 10/10 Definitely worth watching!
Reason for my 10 out of 10 is cause i don't think the 5.7 (at the moment) is the rating what it's worth. For me this is a 7.5-8 at least....
Love the movies with Willam Dafoe, Matt Dillon. Both very good actors and in this movie they perform outstanding!
Perhaps director had to put a little more effort into the movies but all in all i believe it fits right into the time when it took place. It definitely gives you the feeling of going back into that time! It's for sure one i would recommend to others!
Action is of great performance with much "effects" although it's greatly filmed in "suspense" mode. Not to little, not to much!
Despite the bad reviews i am sure you will enjoy this movie!
