Synopsis: A secret agent is sent to Sydney, to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called "Chimera".
Reaction: Some feel the movie relies a bit too heavily on one specific trick, but I find this one more cohesive a story than the previous outing and I quite enjoy it.
Personal Rating: 8/10 |
