What is the plot ?
The film commences with an engaging suspense and a glimpse of chaos nestled within peace.
Setting the Tone: a prison break, a hostile reception or any such scenario serves the purpose of claiming the mood of the viewer by shattering the calming image.
Reintroducing Key Characters: The viewers are reintroduced to multiple prominent figures or events within the story. For example if the viewers were introduced to a jailer in the first part, the sequel will once again shine the spotlight on the protagonist who appears to retire when viewers are watching them.
Introducing the New Threat: The new nuanced evil that later seems to capture the viewers attention was intelligent, got in the protagonist’s head and constructed an entire scheme where everything – jailers, corrupt systems, haunting ghosts are in place – all made the entire picture extremely complex.
