Not sure why everybody is so excited about this movie. The detective part was much weaker than in the first movie, and the rest is just a typical Netflix annoying propaganda.
The detective is gay now, of course. The main villain is a white male, of course. The most brutal guy (Batista) is a sissy mama's boy, of course. And the smartest, bravest, strong and independent hero is a black woman, of course. So tired of this Netflix crap.
Just before you making her a hero in your eyes remember that just for the sake of vengeance she burned the original Mona Lisa painting without any doubt, which one of the most precious art heritage of our civilization.
It's a crying shame that movies like this will never (or only in extremely rare cases) get selected as potential candidates for an Oscar, because Angela Bettis deserves an Oscar for her role here. The story may come across as a bit predictable, but WOW!....it was played to perfection by Angela and had decent supporting cast, too. Although you feel certain how this is going to end, the conclusion was pure perfection. Honestly, this was a sleeper that has turned out to be one of the best films I've watched in a long time. There were some parts that I wasn't sure really had a "place" in the story - almost seemed to muddy the waters somewhat - but all in all, this was a fantastic "creepy" movie. This girl really had me creeped out through the entire movie. Simultaneously, it kind of tugged at my heart regarding how even slightly different people (all she had was a "lazy eye") are shunned by society. Highly recommend giving this one a watch; it has its "gruesome" moments, but by and large, this is a psychological creepfest that should leave you amazed. I loved it.
