“Commando 2: The Black Money Trail” is the sequel to “Commando: A One Man Army”. This is an Indian martial arts flick with some impressive stunts but everything else is really disappointing. It’s way too talky at times and I found the plot to be really uninteresting.

Karan (Vidyut Jammwal “Force”) is an Indian commando tasked with locating stolen Indian money hidden in banks abroad. His journey will take him to places such as Malaysia and Thailand as he must retrieve the money to help the impoverished people of his homeland. He will have to solve the mysteries of the shadowy world of black money.

Vidyut Jammwal is clearly a talented martial artist. The stunt and fight choreography on display here is very good. He’s a man that has obviously studied the work of Jackie Chan (“Rumble In The Bronx”) and Tony Jaa (“Warrior King”). However, he’s just not as interesting in terms of his personality. He’s a little too slick at times. It’s like watching an Indian James Bond. The other characters are really dull. I particularly disliked a female protagonist that is obsessed with taking photos of herself and going shopping. A lot of the characters engage in detailed talk about Indian politics and it gets pretty boring.

This movie starts off with a great action sequence but then it just grinds to a halt. This film feels really long with lots of boring conversations about politics and finance. This stuff might be interesting in a political thriller but this is a martial arts movie and I’m here to watch fistfights. There is so much talking that you forget you are even watching an action film at times. If Vidyut Jammwal wants to be the Indian Jackie Chan then he needs to add some more personality to his performance and he needs to find a better script.
