Anyone looking forward to this one? I'm interested since I really liked the first film. Given this one is a "straight to video" film, it's got a decent cast. Tom Berenger, Vinnie Jones, Ernie Hudson, and Michael Parks. I wish there was an announcement or even a two pack Blu-ray with the first film.
