One night, little Danny (Eric Acosta) finds himself where he shouldn't be, surprising a gang of drug traffickers by committing murder. Father Ashe Corven (Vincent Perez) and his son are killed by the vicious group intent on eliminating inconvenient witnesses.A raven will revive the man to carry out his revenge. In fact, the father blinded by hatred for his murder and that of his son, with the help of Sarah (Mia Kirshner), a tattoo artist, eliminates all the gang members.The Crow 2 by Tim Pope turns out to be a sequel, not too well done, to the small cult hit that the first chapter represents instead.
The film, with set design by Alex McDowell and cinematography by Jean-Yves Escoffier, has a fairly dark setting, created in a very dirty Los Angeles and at its most baffling moral drift.
The film, with music by Graeme Revell and screenplay by David S.Goyer, is very fast paced to the end, depicting cruel and chilling deaths, which are, perhaps, the only credit that can be given to this film.
The plot, except for a few variables, is almost identical to that of its predecessor. Not to mention the ending, which is frighteningly predictable.
In conclusion, the biggest flaw of the The Crow 2 is that it turns out to be too repetitive: while watching this film it feels as if one is confronted with the, slightly, varied copy of Crow 1. A tad bit of effort to make something more original would have been really appreciated.
It would have been better to let The Raven remain a single film, but when it comes to money, producers will do anything, so this film also went to market. However, it did not enjoy the success of its predecessor.
To be watched without pretension.
