With any sequel, it’s always difficult to come up with a story that isn’t completely formulaic. We all obviously know and expect for an event to occur that will trigger Bronson and his quest for vengeance. However, it’s the little things in this that really add to the narrative, which include the debate over psychological treatment and its effectiveness, the relationship between Bronson and his girlfriend, the media and its coverage of violence, the inability of the police to be everywhere all of the time, and the political side of dealing with crime and its publicity. All of this helps give it some additional depth.
