Not as good as the first film. Narumi the hitman remains a cool character. Lots of humor in the first half hour, including when he goes to collect debts in a truck. After that, he is hired by yakuza for assassination assignments. It is a light film; not too much blood, not too much nudity, on the slow side, and the story isn't that engaging either. This second film in the Game trilogy made less of an impression but is still worth watching, if only for Matsuda's brilliant acting. Curious about Execution Game, but that is for next weekend.
