I saw the film yesterday and I actually enjoyed it. There is a nice little twist to the story, which now has Kwon Sang-woo seeking revenge for those who are responsible for his life unraveling as a kid by challenging them to the game of Go (like in the original film). The final challenge is quite a delight to watch because it was quite unexpected.

The film hits select theaters nationwide tomorrow.

This was....surprisingly good! Not sure why I wasn't expecting it to be, but I guess any sequel which loses the heavy hitters of the original comes with some trepidation, thankfully here it was unfounded. I gave it the full review treatment over at COF, check it out here -
