Our take
Eye for an Eye 2 is a Tang-dynasty revenge story about a blind swordsman and a destroyed family. Expect killings, blood, s-word language, and drunk scenes. A gambling house is a location. Older teens and adults
Story (may spoil tone)
The blind swordsman, skilled in martial arts, named Cheng Xiazi (Xie Miao), accidentally saves Zhang Xiaoyu (Yang Enyou), who has suffered from the destruction of his family. Under the persuasion of the orphan Xiaoyu, Cheng reluctantly keeps him by his side and teaches him skills. Xiaoyu also waits for the opportunity to seek revenge.

Talk after watching
- Revenge is the whole engine. What does the film think it costs?
- A destroyed family starts the path. Is more killing the answer the film wants?
