~NO SPOILERS~ This movie essentially starts right after the first one ends, right at the top-down view of New York City.

As expected, it expands on the mythology hinted at in the first movie, with the revelation that there's a high council of sorts, other Continental hotels around the world, and a very widespread network of assassins. Also as expected, it ups the ante with bigger action sequences, and a much higher bo…
