Just like the first Queen of the Trap House film, this film is all talk, no action.

After being killed offscreen, despite ostensibly dying from poison in the last film(?), Tyreek's girlfriend Kionna takes over the drug empire full time.

If for some reason you watched the first film, you'll know exactly what to expect. Director Jeff Profitt films endless scenes of talking while showing absolutely nothing.

Still, at least there's one scene where he has the audacity to rip low-quality audio of a police raid from a TV show and play it like it's actually happening all while showing a shot of Kionna calmly raising her hands at her 'empire' aka a folding table with some twenty's and a bag of flour on it.

Right, well I wasn't harboring any expectations to this 2022 crime drama titled "Queen of the Trap House 2: Taking the Throne" as I sat down to watch it. I had never heard about this movie, nor have I seen the predecessor, so I didn't know what I was in for here.

But I opted to give writer and director Jeff Profitt's movie a fair chance. However, it was rather clear from the beginning of the movie that this was not going to be a cinematic masterpiece. Nay, this movie fell entirely short of capturing my interest, much less offering any entertainment or enjoyment.

The storyline was simple and straight forward, sure, and that was a good thing. But the character gallery in the movie was just bland and stereotypical. And the dialogue was every bit as wooden and rigid as the acting performances. And the entire movie just reeked of low budget, you know, the type that you can shoot yourself if you have a digital video camera.

"Queen of the Trap House 2: Taking the Throne" was a swing and a miss, and I didn't even get halfway through the ordeal before I gave up. The dialogue and the dubious acting performances just didn't appeal to me. Plus, the fact that the storyline wasn't really all that interesting either.

I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list, but I can't claim that I was impressed with what I witnessed on the screen.

My rating of "Queen of the Trap House 2: Taking the Throne" lands on a two out of ten stars.
