Goofs

CCTV systems in public hotels and other commercial service providers in the EU are not capable of recording audio, and often are not allowed to. A hotel would have no reason to have one, as it would require complex data protection disclosures incompatible with the services of an accommodation business.

Alternate Versions

Most UK releases are pre-cut for a 15 certificate, reducing scenes of "strong violence and gore". The following footage was removed, totaling 11s of cuts:

• an already broken arm being further twisted
• two knives being pulled upwards in a man's body at the end of a stabbing
• a gory shot of insides hanging out after an explosion
• a man's spine being severed before he's thrown off a building

The 4K version is uncut and rated 18.

User Reviews

Very slow and predictable

I had my expectations high because I was very impressed with the first one. Unfortunately this one is a bit of a disappointment owing to the pacing and predictability of the story. It was slower and boring. If they decide to make a third one then they should make it a bit more fast paced.
