(While Commando 2‘s camera spends a lot of time lingering on Jammwal’s chiseled bod, let’s take a moment to appreciate how impossibly handsome he is, as well. Karan’s solo assault on a Taiwan high-rise is a great way to start the movie. Director Deven Bhojani knows that his film’s greatest asset is Jammwal’s heavily muscled body and the wondrous things it can do, usually some combination of running, jumping, kicking, and punching. Our first glimpse of him is a closeup of Jammwal’s bulging bicep. Due process does not exist in Commando 2.įollowing a scene of some shady dealings in Taiwan, Karan gets the most perfect introduction imaginable. He makes sure to have one of his sidekicks shoot him and plant the gun on the bad guy’s body, so as to not get tied up in court on suspicion of extrajudicial killings. Karan now works for some elite secretive unit of the government, tracking money launderers overseas and killing them in encounters. No mention is made of his love interest from the original film, Simrit (Pooja Chopra), so I guess they broke up. The threats to the lovers were immediate and directed by a single villain, while the danger in Commando 2 is borne out of distrust for India’s political system.Ĭarrying over from the first movie to the second is the commando himself, Karan (Vidyut Jammwal). While that movie had some quirks as well, its narrative was a straightforward story of two lovers on the run.

Part of making peace with Commando 2 is accepting that it is not Commando: A One Man Army. If one is willing to accept the movie on its own terms, it’s a helluva fun and goofy ride. Commando 2: The Black Money Trail is absolutely bonkers.
