Bad Guys want to blow up a shithole to make money in rebuilding.
It's okay I guess, but the writing is off and it's frequently a tired revisitation of the earlier movie.

People vanish.
There are a bunch of areas where it might have shined, but it falls flat, and hard. It has a particularly unsatisfying ending.

A hitman is witnessed just after a job, and becoming a suspect pushes his employers put a hit out on him.
While I can imagine this being really cool at the time, it certainly isn't any more. It has a slow moody atmosphere with a main character stiff enough to be a walking corpse. It's also just shy of being a silent film.
I only finished watching it because of the similarity Ghost Dog - (1999 movie) has with it, because I like that movie.

A woman in a wheelchair goes on vacation alongside various religious tourists.
I couldn't get to the half-way point without succumbing to boredom. This movie has a kind of absence of flavour that drones on like one unwavering tone. I don't know how the hell this movie got into my inbox, perhaps as a reality-questioning movie. Maybe it got into interesting things later, but I was unwilling to give it that chance.
It had no explosions or lasers.
