Frenchie and Sue part Duex.
Went into the first with standard Scott Adkins hopes and semi-dread, left with wanting more from the lead duo. Riggs & Murtaugh, Tango & Cash and Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man-esque aka 80-90's buddy cop back and forth plus gratuitous action scenes, one liners and pre-2000 quip brought me back for the sequel.
I wasn't disappointed, held up and still does if expectations for what it is and why you're even watching it aren't set to Coppola/Cinematic Gold standards.
