‘Don’t Breathe 2’ movie review: Home invasion flick doesn’t hit the mark this time around
The Hindu
This sequel to the 2016 hit is engaging enough, but does not achieve the greatness of the first movie
Set eight years after the events of 2016’s Don’t Breathe, this sequel finds blind Navy Seal, Norman (Stephen Lang), living with Phoenix (Madelyn Grace), a 11-year-old girl he adopted after rescuing her from a house fire. His faithful, shiny Rottweiler, Shadow, completes the family portrait. Phoenix chafes against Norman’s restrictions about the town not being safe. When Norman’s only contact with the outside world, Hernandez, a park ranger (Stephanie Arcila), suggests taking Phoenix to town, he reluctantly agrees.
