James “Animal” Allen is back in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. On the outside, his son James Jr. is framed for murder. The only way James Jr. stays out of jail is that Animal returns to his violent brawler roots.
Years after being shot by his eldest son and taking the fall for his crimes, former gangster James “Animal” Allen serves a life sentence at Folsom Prison. When a riot breaks out between the Blacks and Mexicans, Animal is transferred to Susanville Prison. While serving his time, Animal learns that his son, James Jr. is framed for murder and the one responsible for calling the shots is on the inside. He is blackmailed and forced to return to his dark past as a fighter in order to save his son.
“As usual, Ving puts in a good performance as James. Shannon as Darius makes you forget that Terrence Howard was the original character. There’s also some decent fight scenes. Animal 2 is just as good as the first one, which is surprising for a DTV sequel.” – Comeuppance Reviews
“The plot is understandable and exciting. In contrast to its predecessor, there are fewer gaps in the course of the story, so that you can follow the development of the characters better.” – Filmreporter.de
“No “magical” events or superfluous scenes. Engaging portrayal of love for one’s family, respect for others on the one hand, and the evil which greed nourishes among those lacking in love on the other hand.” – Amazon
