ANIMAL 2

Cinemavixion Review

Ryan Combs' "Animal 2" plunges viewers back into the gritty world of James "Animal" Allen, a former gangster serving a life sentence. The narrative picks up with Animal navigating the brutal realities of Folsom Prison, only to be transferred to Susanville amidst a riot. There, he receives devastating news: his son, James Jr., has been framed for murder. This revelation forces Animal to confront his violent past once more, not just for his own survival, but to protect his son. Simultaneously, his other son, Darius, who has seemingly reformed, endeavors to clear James Jr.'s name from the outside with the help of a lawyer. The film, starring Ving Rhames and Vicellous Shannon, promises a compelling drama filled with action and familial stakes, exploring themes of justice, redemption, and the enduring bonds of brotherhood within the confines of the criminal justice system.
