This film is marketed as cage fighting in a jail but the actual fighting must add up to about five minutes of the film in total. Most of the film deals with Ving Rhames son being framed for murder and others trying to clear him. The majority of the film takes place outside the jail so the "star" Ving Rhames is not in it a lot. Its very talky and in no way what you could call an action movie. Boring!

Good Sequel.......

I just rented and watched this movie, and despite Darius (Terrance Howard in the 1st one) being replaced by Vicellous Shannon this was a good sequel. It has a lot of action in it. I will definitely buy this when it available!

Really Disappointing
11 Dec 2009
By R. Rubio
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I haven't seen the first one but given that it's starring Ving Rhames as a prison fighter you would think that this movie is action packed. WRONG.
There's only a handful of fights and they're all pretty tame back and forth stuff. It really isn't entertaining to watch except when Animal climbed the cell bars to do a WWE elbow drop.
Most of the movie follows his two sons, the oldest trying to be guardian of the younger one. The younger bro gets into trouble with the law for getting into stupid situations and now his older brother has to try and prove his innocence. He does this by storming the public defender's office and sayig "Are you the public pretender?" and proceeds to insult her saying he knows she doesn't care but that she "needs" to get his brother free because he's innocent. Then he insults her some more. If that were me I would have kicked that fool out of my office for coming with that stupid stereotypical attitude and tell him I hope his brother rots in prison.
The story is lame and you will spot the "twist" a mile away. It doesn't even play out better than you would expect. The prison scenes are too tame, ironically this is one of the softer roles I've seen Ving Rhames in. Don't be fooled into thinking he's going to be a ruthless "not givin a F" character or you'll be really disappointed.

quality storytelling

I found myself really getting into this movie as it went along.
I haven't seen the first Animal, but the movie was about a father who goes to jail, and fights people (fights for his LIFE, in fact) because a dishonest "religious" man forces him to. I never could tell if the guy was seriously religious or just pretending to be. This guys performance, while exaggerated a bit, was pretty entertaining.
The movie centers around the fathers kids, and well, I won't spoil anything, but the storyline progresses into some pretty interesting directions that I honestly didn't see coming until about halfway through. His kids play a big part that involves a pretty crazy story.
I can honestly say this is a pretty good movie that starts out a little slow and predictable, but develops into a more interesting storyline slowly and carefully.
