Takashi Miike offers a sequel to the successful “Crows Zero”. If the first work didn’t leave us with a cliffhanger, it is nice to catch-up with the same characters, and in the same atmosphere.
Indeed, and unlike the third movie (“Crows Explode”), Crows Zero II doesn’t change the winning team. It is still directed by Miike.
