The quality of the acting in this film fluctuates all over the place. In some scenes (especially confrontations between the Joshua, Nathan, and their dad), I was riveted by the intensity of the incredible acting. Other scenes, however, had me nearly laughing at the ridiculousness of the actors'/actresses' attempts at playing their characters. Other things I liked: Faster pace than the first movie. Depth of the conflicts (it's not complete good vs bad; both parties were genuinely hurt by the past). Incredible camera work. Changing points of view during the voice-over narration. Other things I disliked: The music score didn't fit the scenes. Awkward dialogue at times. A lot of things didn't carry over from the first film.
