This is an impressing Action-Movie from Sweden , the film displays suspense , action-packed , thriller , violent fights and is quite entertaining . A well done Swedish Action-Flic in old style , this "Hamilton 2" is a very entertaining and action-packed with full of suspense and violence . Mikael Persbrandt is nearly as good as other Hamiltons previously performed by Stellan Skarsgard and Peter Stormare . Here Hamilton/Mikael Persbrandt is forced to play by his own rules when his goddaughter is kidnapped by terrorists . Based on the novels by Jan Guillou , but the books are in fact better because of the many details given about the different secret services and political conspirations . It keeps the audience reminded of the fact that good & evil deeds depends on whom you are pulling for . A very different hero , who isn't a posterboy , but somebody you could easily mistake for a crook by his emaciated outer appearance . The picture in itself explores the difficult feelings of a relentless agent whose methods may be ugly , if even horrible and more or less suffering from previous family assassinations and a girlfriend. It's action with a nice twist , making it agreeable and interesting enough. The highlights of the film are the impressive beginning when a convoy is assaulted and a breathtaking final attack with fighting , pursuits and explosions . This is an acceptable sequel but it really lacks Guillou's humor and political commentary witch makes the movie seem a little monotone at times . It displays a colorful cinematography shot in Spanish exteriors , such as : La Calahorra, Castle La Calahorra, La Calahorra , Granada, Andalucía, Almeria, Andalucia, Spain, London, England, UK , Stockholms län, Sweden.
