Clear to see sequel suffers from few flaws

Stephen Lang’s Blind Man returns – and this time he’s sort of the hero.

That didn’t sit well with a lot of people but if you can let it slide there’s a lot to like about this sequel.

Fans of over-the-top violence will have a ball as the Blind Man takes on a gang of brutal drug dealers out to ruin his bond with adopted daughter Phoenix (Madelyn Grace).

Lang is great as the visually-impaired one-man army and Grace brings the heart the film badly needs.

The baddies are forgettable, though, and while it was inevitable the film would move on from its predecessor’s cramped solo setting, that takes away a lot of the tension.
