Normally I don't like sequels better than the original but I liked this one better probably cause there was more action and dark scene's involved.
There's good lightning shots with lots of good fighting action in the film. We still have the odd dark humor too.
The story was taken in a different direction with just Gabriel as the same character but hey it really works well with what is going on with the odd suspenseful jumping moments too and alot more darker with the plotline compared to the original.

The acting is well done as Christopher Walken still shows his evil charm as the fallen Angel Gabriel and has an icy voice along with his nasty humor too. He's got everything with this sequel.
Russell Wong
shows tons of energy performing a good fallen angel as he does well with his blocking and fighting.
Jennifer Beals
does a good job with her aggressions in the film along with her terrific chemistry to her part.
Brittany Murphy
totally stood out as a basket case punk girl forced to work with Gabriel which she shows great emotional problems to her part in it.
Eric Roberts
shows a good cold like presence to his part in the film and has good still expressions to his part.
A good cameo performance by gothic rocker Glenn Danzig which was very brief but shows terrific intensity as another fallen angel of death.

There's a brief butt shot performed by Christopher Walken while crawling out of the ground.
We have a butt shot on both Russell Wong and Jennifer Beals while having a sex scene in bed. Plus we have a brief breast shot on Beals.

Renegade angel's hearts are ripped out
A sharp object is stabbed through Danyael
Bullet shots are marked on Gabriel
A metal fence pole is stabbed through Gabriel

Greg Spense does an amazing job with his work in this film. He shows a very superb scene with camera shots on a road cracking open and a red lighting effect with the cracks along with Christopher Walken crawling out which gives it a great looking sequel.
There are many good angle shots surrounding Walken as well during this moment.
We have good camera shots on Russell Wong jumping on top of a chair performing for some children.
We have a nice and effective moment that involves both Russell Wong and Jennifer Beals together and then terrific shots and energetic performance when they do a lustful scene together as well as showing lightning effects on one another in bed.
Later on we have a great camera shot on Wong stooping on top of the bed.
There's a nice dark and coldlike dialogue between Wong and supporting actor Steve Hytner.
We have a terrific and powerful direction between bit part actor Glenn Danzig throwing Wong out of a window and into a street corner brawling with terrific close up camera shots on the two of them.
A good shot looking up on Walken towards Hytner by ripping his heart out.
A nice shot on bit part actor Danny Strong as a punk kid screaming with his jaw wide open in a car while it is speeding towards a wall.
We have a good moment with Walken talking to Brittany Murphy in her smashed up car as she does well by crying.
A nice shot on Walken walking by a van and snapping his fingers with a cheesy shot on it exploding.
We have a good scene and shots between both Beals and supporting actress Renee Victor having a mother and daughter argument.
We have a nice shot on Beals entering a bedroom and turning on a light walking towards her dead mother with a good shot on Walken stooping on her dresser talking silently to Beals and then attacking her by throwing her against a wall along with a great shot on Wong crashing through a window and battling Walken which we have a great shot on Walken throwing Wong onto a sharp bedpost object.
Nice shots on Beals running away from a car chasing after her with Walken getting demanding towards Victor driving the car.
We have a good moment with Victor pointing a gun at herself at a sleazy looking diner and then shooting herself which makes you jump a bit.
There's a good moment with Victor acting aggressive towards Wong in a cathedral with a great shot on the seating area.
A good shot on Walken dragging Beals by the hair in the cathedral.
Perfect shots on featured extras as policemen holding guns behind their cars along with a good show on Walken being shot and slowly falling down in front of the catherdral.
We have numerous terrific camera shots on a factory with a metal gate and creepy moments happening along with battle scene's in the factory performed by Walken, Wong and Beals with more terrific shots inside.
We also have a good presence by Eric Roberts at the factory expressing an evil streak to his part showing him lighting candles while talking to Beals.
There's a good dialogue between Roberts towards Walken between the metal gate with Walken acting loud and aggressive which looked truly dark.
There's also a nice special effects shot on Walken and Beals grabbing onto one another while falling off an object at the factory.

David C. Williams is back once again having some nice chanting sounds as well as the good deep effective synthesizer music and sharp tones.

Samayel: Long time Danyael!!!!
