Years after the events in the first film, Norman Nordstrom (Stephen Lang) is living with an 11-year-old girl (Madelyn Grace) whom heās teaching survival skills; they come in handy when their home is attacked by a gang with a secret agenda. A sequel that tries to milk a nifty concept without adding fresh ideas, apart from coming up with a gruesome (and illogical) explanation for why the criminals are targeting young Phoenix. An attempt is made to humanize Langās grim character, and heās still compelling, but it all runs out of steam near the end.
