The finale of the first part hinted that a new clash of the two main characters would take place in the sequel, but the sequel turned out to be completely different from what I expected to see it. The main focus is now on the blind old man, and I must say that it even got a little more interesting this way.
According to the perception, the sequel moves a little from the horror towards the drama, but the elements of the thriller are still in bulk here. The veteran and his adopted daughter have enemies even more monstrous than the old man himself. For the fact that the film was not afraid to show us such a dark side of humanity, I am ready to praise it. As Qui-Gon said, "there is always a bigger fish," and this very "fish" in the form of several hunters for people, the characters and encounter. It was almost impossible to refrain from spectacular shootouts, falls and fires, and I understand perfectly why the director sometimes strays from believability. I am sure that in real life the main character would not have been able to survive the fire and fall from the top floor of his new home. But on the other hand, the sequel manages to keep the viewer intrigued, and this is very important for any thriller. Until the last seconds you ask yourself "will Phoenix survive" and "what will happen to the old man."
If you evaluate the second part without going into details, the overall impressions are as good as those of the original. Having slightly changed the course of development, the sequel still pleases us with tension, murders, and morality, which is even brighter and more vital here. "Don't Breathe 2" makes us think about how hard it is for a person who once made many mistakes and now wants to fix everything. The realities are such that, if desired, everyone can get a second chance. How to use it - everyone decides for himself. It is only important to understand that people, by and large, do not want to be bad, and if you successfully set the right example, then even an experienced thug can go over to your side.
I sincerely thank Steven Lang, Madeline Grace, Brendan Sexton and Stephanie Arsila for the acting, Rodolfo Sayages for directing, but the cameraman still has a joint due to the abundance of too close shots when the camera "flies" in the corridors and over the railings in the House.
