Streetdance 2 – review

One day the streetdance movie genre will evolve and mature to the extent that every single film does not need to climax in a competition. That day has not yet dawned, but Streetdance 2 has brash energy; it does not neglect to do what it says on the tin and the lack of realism is no problem. Falk Hentschel is Ash, a guy with something to prove, having embarrassed himself in a confrontation with a streetdance crew hubristically named Invincible. So he assembles a super-cool crew of his own from all over Europe to take them on again, and incidentally falls for Eva (Sofia Boutella), his most luscious signing. And after some ups and downs … well, there are no great surprises, although they need some new choreographical ideas for those various poses of incredulous scorn and contempt while the opponents are dancing.
