Meg 2: The Trench review – Jason Statham sequel forgets it's a shark movie
has now swum into cinemas with reviews embargoed until the day of its release in the UK.
He's also on hand to provide expert Meg advice given he's one of the few to go head-to-head with one and win. So Jonas and Jiuming head to the deepest depths of the ocean to map out the trench where they believe the Megs come from, and where all sorts of other prehistoric creatures lie. Instead, that threat is the mining operation run by Montes who has help from inside Jiuming's company too. It turns the first half into a dull espionage thriller where Jonas punches more people than he does Megs, and even worse, it all takes place in the murky surroundings of the ocean floor meaning you can't see most of what's happening.
Perhaps if the villains were given more depth, it might have at least led to some satisfying deaths when they inevitably meet their demise. But they're all so one-note that they don't leave enough of an impression. In other words, they're not hateful enough for their deaths to be entertaining.Eventually the sequel does break to the surface and director Ben Wheatley lets the sharks loose on unwitting humans.
